Surviving through this unprecedented experience with the inner resources to rebuild with purpose and intention (thriving) is the lasting stimulus package required for this time.

IKIGAI For The Purpose Peeps

The light and fun version of IKIGAI (integrated reason for being that includes your head, heart, hands and soul) For Purpose Peeps, YOU. With all that we are juggling, relearning and unlearning, here’s a version of unlocking that allows you to see your meaningful resources during a time that seems to focus on contraints–all we cannot do or be.

Do You Know What Time It Is?

I heard a word that sparked me, sitz im leben during a town hall discussion. Sitz im leben denotes the social context or ‘life setting’ in which a narrative emerged. With all that is happening as a result of the pandemic and social justice uprising, what is YOUR sitz im leben that if you wrote a book on your experiences right now would shape the narrative for future readers. Check out this video and explore what has changed on your watch that is informing your sitz im leben.

Unlock Your S/Hero’s Journey

For the first time in modern history, we have a shared “Call to Adventure”–all of us doing our part to live through the COVID19 event and rebuild our lives. Unlock first with your journaling and reflection using the S/Hero’s Journey framework from Be Your Type of Super Workbooks and second through authentic discussions about your experiences of the steps of the journey with your family in your living room or with your team or groups on Zoom!

Use The Purposity App To Connect With Local Needs

Purposity is a pre-COVID19 resource that connects you with the local needs of our communities. Agencies upload needs & members of the village respond with resources that are facilitated through the agency or organization such as school districts, local agencies, and County resources. As of yesterday, there were 1200 COVID19 emergency needs like wipes for homeless people, in between meals for homeless families, and gift cards for Walmart.

Difficult Start Or COVID19 Bootcamp?

I’ve heard many Purpose Peeps comment about how challenging 2020 started before COVID19 became a pandemic event. I am coming into the awareness those experiences were a sort of boot camp. As difficult as it is/was, the experiences strengthened some muscles that we’re using now. Check out how this realization is growing through my recent podcasts on The #Sparked Life Podcast.

What’s In Your Hand?

In October 2019, I delivered a keynote originally called, “Being A Transitional Character In The Age of Purpose.” I know, long title. And 2019 was my year of yes. Yes to my sparks, nudges, and assignments. As I reflect on the time we are in, I am repurposing this talk because I believe it was a part of the COVID19 boot camp and is evidence that in the midst of unimaginable times, grace remains everpresent.
