Thank you for this thoughtful post. When I am between my own rock and hard place, I often ask myself, "what is my investment in keeping things the same?" If it's where I choose to be, so be it! And if not, how can I change.

I, too, am saving this essay. I need to read it a few more times. I need it to sink in and become a part of me. Thank you 🥰✌🏻

Thank you for this post and for your Little Detours book. As I am getting older, I find myself looking to see where I can do more for others. There are so many people who need our love and our compassion that it helps me forget the aches and pains of arthritis and other elements of getting up there in years.

I grow more and more attracted to simplicity; Hence I found these questions to be keepers. I've noticed in the past several years that my overactive brain can complicate mere walking. Thanks Regina..

Regina, these are wonderful, well thought out questions. Much more helpful than an easily broken resolution. Thanks for sharing.

I almost skipped reading this because I was like not more of the same questions?! 😂 But I woke up ready to be open and LOVE all of these. These are “all year” questions for a better life.

Great list Regi. The advantage of reading, in detail, is you will find your name if it is in the article :)
