What do you want?

Hi collaborator,

My sister-in-law asks me an amazing question twice per year (once just before my birthday and another in November): What do you want?

I love this question because it’s direct - she won’t spend hours trying to guess what to buy, and I won’t be stuck with a gift I don’t really want!

It also allows me to practice getting in touch with what I desire AND telling someone exactly what that is! The result each time is that I get exactly what I need - to be seen, heard, and responded to with care. If you think about it more deeply, it’s actually a little practice of co-regulation!

So, as I contemplate what I will offer next in my work, I have some questions for you - because you deserve to feel seen, heard, and responded to with care!
