A trip to a winter market, what could go wrong?
We were looking for a way to recalibrate, to energize ourselves. Both a little tired and run down, Keith and Laura decide to focus on the most recent family weekend.
Laura loves to recharge through creative work and travel. Keith balances the feeling of not doing enough with making time for creative projects and relaxation.
Some topics were easy to talk about.
Laura doesn’t like to sit still and has several projects to check off her list. She leans into making holiday treats and festive crafts. Keith is reminded that he is a maker and acknowledges the need to plan, prioritize, and simply use his time effectively.
Some topics were more difficult.
While Keith’s practicality and sense of obligation can create overwhelm and distract from his practice and creativity, this time around, it threatens the whimsy and sense of play Laura craves while they explore.
We end up talking about partnerships. Is there a shift where someone is not only your partner, they’re your confidant, they’re your friend, they’re your coach, they’re your everything? It can be a lot to feel pressure to be everything, everywhere for someone. Laura says she get’s it, but Keith is skeptically optimistic.
Thanks for joining us!
