Advent Calendar of Beauty, Dec 8

Oh beautiful for spacious souls,

How would you describe FUN in six words?

We used ye olde six-work story prompt in the Humor, Play & Fun salon (thanks, Kelli!) to throw down some ideas of What Fun Means to each of us.

Then we put it to the paper fortune teller game. Remember that one? I had to use a YouTube video refresh my memory on how to make a little oragami favorite of childhood.

In the video I play a solo game, and choose Number Eight. Guess what was behind Door No 8? A possible meaning of life, and I’m not pulling your leg.

Try this: come up with your own definition of fun. Something ordinary. In which fun doesn’t have to be an event but an experience. Then, go for a walk and let your mind wander on the theme of Fun as the Purpose of Life. Imagine a world (or a team, a job, a family) where everyone is focused on “fun”. What would it be to add 3% more fun to daily life activities. AND, P.S.: if you’re not having fun, that’s great too. Don’t force it. Fun is there for you when you’re ready, and will pop out from behind a tree for moments of relief as you grind through a hard phase. We love you! Xo

Beauty Hunter is a space where we explore the relentlessness of beauty in daily life, no matter what the circumstances might be. Included are seasonal Salons for Beauty Hunters, a virtual gathering of curious-minded people who want to talk about the larger issues of life from an exploratory POV. For coaching, go to Everyday Creative Coaching.

Seasonal offer: a six-week coaching playgram to plant bulbs for 2023.
