Week 33, 2021 - Laying low

I’m now in Tokyo under a government mandated quarantine that’s deployed consumer technology to scale tracking and surveillance of individuals who fly into Japan. It’s an app-based check-in system, with random notifications and video calls throughout the day. I’m almost through the two week period and then I will continue socially distancing without being managed by an app.

My coaching training is in full swing. I have practice clients booked for the next two months, with whom I’ll meet weekly. I’ve found that as I started having open-hearted conversations with real people, my trepidation started to melt away. People have thoughts to sort out, decisions to make, and well, help is helpful. And I’m blessed with a strong support system through the program and energizing partnerships with some of my cohort peers, so things are in a good place.

I dream of the mountains, and being able to walk out barefoot onto dewey grass.
