Speaker 1: I'm blessed with the opportunity to share conversations with some
of the most creative people on the planet today. And yes,
we do talk about how creativity is that one thing
that we just crave. We can't get enough of it,
and if we aren't producing it, it drives us insane.
I believe it's an addiction unplugged because we will always
say yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Well,
here we are readjusting our thoughts in paths to fit
into the revealing of a brand new day. Do you
ever sit back and just say, how is this thing
going to play out? Does anybody really know what time
it is? How much time is being spent asking about
events that haven't even happened yet. In the world of podcasting,
I prep every interview days in advance. Not that I
can't handle a live show, but I want to know
what every conversation is going to be like, to have
a safety net when the answer that they give is
a cold and lone. Yeah, yeah, That's all I'm going
to get is yeah yeah. But here we are setting
our hearts up to move through this opportunity or gift.
We are so incredibly lucky to receive this day, this moment.
We can be selfish, we can make it all about us,
or we can find newer ways to share our days.
How heavy is that decision? Is it about you? Or
are you going to share it? Ooh hey, Sarah? This
is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.
I am a daily writer. Here we are, That's what
I like to write about. Where are we? How are we?
Where will we be there? And if we don't make
it there? What's next? But right now here we are?
That's what daily writing is. This is the daily mess.
When was the last time? That's a big question in
an ever changing time in global history, the last time?
When was the last time? Was it like a great
time or a changing time? How did you handle such
a time? Now? Because I am that daily writer, I
get to work out what little time is available. Inside
these twenty nine years of writing, I've stared into the
eyes of many last times. My last time on terrestrial radio,
my last time as a bowler in the Men's League ABC. Yeah,
the last time. We all have last times, many of
which hurt so deeply that I've had to figure out
how to handle the outside emotions because what I was
sharing became the last time. Getting to the last time
requires a story, a journey, some demand and exploration, while
other last times aren't worth the weight that we're carrying.
When was the last time you were here? Or is
this your first time? Are we wasting your time trying
to fit inside your last time? The last time I
mowed my backyard was in nineteen ninety seven. Oh, there's
a reason why it was the last time, because I
turned it all into a beautiful forest, seventeen hundred trees
that now feature hawks, owls, deer, beautiful black squirrels. Really,
we have them in my neighborhood. We really do in
this forest the last time? Do you ever think about it?
Is it supposed to be the last time? You're supposed
to even have any connection with it because it is
the last time? How do you handle situation like that?
Do you grow beyond it? Since it was your last time?
What was that next step? Was it a learning step?
Was it a on demand step? The last time I
was hooked up to cable TV was about maybe ten
years ago because there was a new thing called streaming. Yeah,
when was the last time I caught up on a
good binge watch? The last time I spoke to my
mother was many years ago because of a family squabble
and my sister wouldn't let me near my mother. That's
getting real. That was the last time. That's the last
thing I'm holding on to when it comes to that
moment I had with her. The last time is a
learning point. It's a growing period in the way of saying, look,
I'm brand new every day. The last time I thought
about this, I think this is the first time I'm marrow.
And that's the daily mess.
