Care to Coddiwomple?
Dec 16, 2018
Maybe your experience is different, but sometimes I take myself and my work a bit too seriously. I treat my life and my vocation like a quest. A hero's journey to find guides, fight dragons, and ferret out treasure.
But when I look back at my most meaningful endeavors, they look more like a coddiwomple.
I wonder what would happen if I took myself and my work a bit less seriously? What if I allowed myself a bit of whimsy and wonder and gave myself permission to wander?
