❤️💣 Mission: Show Up


Show Up


The Background

Today my kids are back at school, but for the past 10 days during their break I put work and social obligations aside and simply focused on spending time with them, hanging out together and being a family. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is also the simplest thing: just show up :)

The Mission

This week, use your time to show up for someone in your life. Give the gift of your presence in a moment that's important to them.

I've been experimenting with and building in AI for most of November, so today, instead of me giving you a few examples of how you could accomplish this mission, I'll plug it into ChatGPT and see what it has to say: https://chat.openai.com/share/eaad3717-c019-4cc3-a69e-a7b7bb202939

There you go, friends - straight from the mind of our future robot overlords. Enjoy!

(I'm putting a pause on the Discord for a while because I've been too busy to jump in there and make it exactly what I want it to be, so for now feel free to reply to this email if you would like to share your results, or tag me on social anytime)

Morning, friends! I was doing the Love Bomb thing during the latter half of 2023, and then I took a break for the Christmas holiday but never came back. I ended up having to deal with a few issues at once (and still am, actually): loss of a job, some personal health stuff, some family things, etc. I'm still in a place where I need to take care of myself and focus on bigger things, so I'm going to do that. Love Bomb will be on indefinite hiatus for the time being. I appreciate you all being a...

Today (Monday night as I write this) is Christmas Day, and next week around this time is New Year's Day, so I'm taking the time off from love bombs. After that it'll be the end of the holiday season, and into the teeth of the long, cold winter. God willing we'll all see it through to the other side together :) It's been another weird year for me, full of stops and starts and big personal/career changes and more than a little stress. The kinds of things most people go through every five years...

From the Beginning The Background I just got back from taking a walk with my brother during a break in my work. It was a nice piece of downtime during this very busy month where I'm transitioning myself into a new (much more fun and creative) career as an AI developer. It made me realize that he's been there through all of my twists and turns, ups and downs, and personal growth over the years, and I'm thankful for him. The Mission This week, spend 10 minutes to acknowledge someone who was...
