Hello Experimenters!
Welcome to February, my friends. It’s hard to believe that we’ve made it through a month of 2022 today already. How did you mark that month? What stands out to you? Let’s hope the shortest month of the year is kind to us.
In solidarity,
Gabby

Things to Do
Assignment: You made a list last week of what tasks are going to require some outside help. This week, attach some potential helpmates to that list–possibly a few candidates for each item. Make special note of the items where you can’t think of a person to help.
Journal: Write about the last dream you can remember. Embrace the lack of logic and fragmented story of it. Try to conjure the details. Full color or monochrome? Was it a happy dream? Or something else? Did it wake you up? Or did something external?
