here's a thought

here's a thought, what if instead of optimizing our lives, we just make them a little weirder? I turned 40 this month and I keep thinking about how I want this next decade to feel. And the word that keeps coming up is curious. I want to feel curious as I age. I also wanna stop training my brain that my excitement in life only comes if I have something to look forward to, like a big trip or just a big milestone. So I've decided this decade and this channel, by the way, welcome, is about adding a little whimsy, a little curiosity into my everyday. So what I'm looking forward to is waking up, what soft adventure can I invite? How can I quest into my 24 hours? How can I be intentional with my curiosity so this doesn't stay stagnant? And this doesn't stay stagnant. So with all that, welcome to Meg's side quest. If you know me from Meg's Tea Room, hi. I'm so happy you're here. After spending the last few years creating this magical little space online, I just, I wanted a new space where I could share more of the real life me as well, and we can do some like questing and get curious together. So what does that look like? We're gonna try hobbies that we're terrible at. We're going to read really good books. We're gonna get real cozy. And we're gonna go on some, maybe even travel sometimes. I hope being here makes you wanna try something, be bad at something, follow a weird little curiosity, you know, find a way to jazz up an ordinary day. I'm so happy that you found me here and I'm really grateful that after all the time we've spent in the tea room, we get, you know, step outside those doors together. And I can't wait to see what we find. Happy side questing, everybody! Here we go!
