A woman with almost no English asks a pastor how she can serve, and gets put on the bus that collects children. Nothing about her looked useful on paper. That story sits underneath the whole blog, which keeps returning to the idea that whatever you already have will do to start with.

The most practical thing in it is a board. Not a plan, a board, physically made, carrying the reasons you are doing any of this, so those reasons stay visible on the days when motivation does not turn up. The post describing it lists what usually goes unnoticed, from breathing to the people who have not died yet.

Around that sit pieces on getting fit before summer, on what a stretch of struggle actually hands you, and on lessons taken from teaching children.

Nine posts, two of them product related. Make the board. That is the instruction everything else has been building toward.
