What lights you up Reader?
I've begun reflecting upon the year that I've had and it dawned on me that there are quite a few things missing that I'd like to do more of next year. These are things that bring me joy and make me feel more "me".
- Travel and going on adventures with my wife
- Doing fun things with cool people (like free hugs and flash mobs - can you spot me in the vid?)
- Playing with my nephews
- Being out in nature
- Teaching others and seeing them succeed
- Facilitating workshops and participating in retreats
- Interviewing inspiring entrepreneurs, creators, and change-makers
- Giving back and volunteering
These things light me up.
When I look at this list it's obvious to me that what I've missed the most since the pandemic started is a sense of connection - with people, nature, and fulfilling experiences. (I think I've just found my theme for 2022!)

4. Pauline Boss — Navigating Loss Without Closure | The On Being Project
Pauline Boss coined the term “ambiguous loss” and invented a new field within psychology to name the reality that every loss does not hold a promise of anything like resolution. Amid this pandemic, there are so many losses — from deaths that could not be mourned, to the very structure of our days, to a sudden crash of what felt like solid careers and plans and dreams. This conversation is full of practical intelligence for shedding assumptions about how we should be feeling and acting as these only serve to deepen stress.
5. Tool of the week: Surfer SEO
Are you looking for a better way to create content that ranks on page 1 of google?
Surfer is a fantastic tool for writing and optimizing content for organic traffic.
I use Surfer for all things content-related. With features like Content Editor or Content Planner, you can generate a whole content strategy in a few clicks, and write data-driven content loved by search engines and people.
Got a page stuck below the top 10 results in Google? Surfer’s Audit tool works like a checklist that will help you identify content gaps, structural defects, and easy-to-implement opportunities. Implementing them is a matter of minutes and brings great results in organic traffic.
Surfer offers a 7-day money back guarantee so you can try it out today and get a full refund within 7 days if you're not happy with it.
Live Confidently and Passionately,
Anfernee Chansamooth
