I love the idea of 'expert trimming' mentioned in the definition of Chisoku Anbun. I feel like a pro lagomer these days, and yet I often feel like I'm doing something 'wrong' according to American culture, as though having just the right amount is a symptom of depravation or not knowing one's worth. Meanwhile I feel more abundant and worthwhile than I've ever felt before. Go figure. Also, keep writing! I like once-a-week emails. It's nice to have integration time, especially since there are so many great ideas and insights to digest in your posts!
You ARE doing something wrong according to American culture, Rebecca! To do what is feeling right to you, to pay attention to what your soul and your body are asking of you IS countercultural. You are in fact taking an oppositional stance to societal values. That will cause discomfort and bafflement in others. Hooray!
I love getting your emails. I find them encouraging, grounding, and interesting. It is good to continue having your voice in my life. Much thanks to you and for you, Douglas!!!

You keep going, Emma. Just remember: you were the star of your FF cohort.
For me emails once a week is lagom. :)
Noted! It's an honor that you're still reading, Emma!
