Most of you know I am an improv nerd with an improv background. It's shaped my life in more ways than just making me incredibly hilarious. Here are a few of them.
Another GREAT post, Joe! Yesterday I wanted to share your #1 of your 51 list with an acquaintance and she wanted to go through all of them right then. It was super enjoyable and made for great conversation and thought-share, but 20 minutes into it and we're at #15, I'm like, "Yeah, they're all pretty incredible, but, uh, how about I send them to you and you join Joe's Called for Adventure? :)
Joe—yes, and the old Zen masters would grin at this. They called it “beginner’s mind.” No script, no clinging. Just showing up, awake, with a great capacity to be surprised. Life is improv—but most of us are too busy defending the scene we thought we were in. Drop the script. Bow to the moment. Then see what arises.

I love this, Ginger! Thank you for your support and being a part of it
