PDF copy The Executive Gardener and the Fairy
In this reading Frank meets the fairy, Lily, in the garden. Lily is his provocateur. She has the same name as his late wife, except it is spelled with only one l. Speaking with an imaginary fairy in the garden seems to be the last thing, task driven and no nonsense Frank, would be caught doing.

Dazzle’s Challenge: Do something out of your comfort zone whatever that is from drinking a different morning beverage, walking a different route, trying a different exercise in our workout.

Remind yourself of the importance of staying open to new ideas

And I love this video by Tim Urban because we so often runaway through procrastination in confronting ourselves in answering those difficult self-evaluation questions.
