S1E6 The First Vacation Since 1997
Description
This episode is about Letty's first actual vacation since 1997. It took her 25 years to allow herself to take some time off. She woke up at her regular time (04:20 - 04:45 ), sat on her rocking chair, sipped her regular chai/tea with ginger, cloves, and fennel seeds, and then watched the sky, snow, trees, birds, and squirrels dance in unison.
This morning ritual wasn’t new, but it felt like one because she didn’t have to prepare for the rest of the day. No chatter to respond to, no flames to put out, and no mask/hat to wear.
Just examine the question that I evaded for the last 25 years…
What would Letty do and who would Letty be if money wasn’t a constraint, but a wieldy tool?
She would write the first volume on Arctic HOWLs, listen to the wilderness that’s north of the 60th parallel, learn to figure skate, and dive again into observability, software supply chain, and developer-centered products. And this week, she designed a new routine for pretty much all of that - minus plucking up the courage to start figure skating at 37 ;)
After experimenting with radical transparency and releasing the first five episodes of my podcast, Letty will close Season 1 of Arctic HOWLs. Looking forward to recouple her new routine with the old one in preparation for Season 2, which is all about Rewilding Finland!
This April, Arctic HOWLs will inaugurate its second season with a special guest from Snowchange Cooperative, the face and voice behind the rewilding actions in Finland.
We will introduce you to some traditional wisdom on Earth stewardship and sustainable fishing in Finland. For the Finns who are aware of seine fishing, you could be taking a trip down memory lane and reconnecting with your local fishing communities!
