The Game of Life
/
If you are reading this you are a player in the Game of Life. The assumptions you hold (knowingly or not) about what kind of game life is and how to play affect how you show up and experience it everyday. Starting August 1 we’ll have some fun, kids and adults together, exploring some of the common games we play as humans that keep us from playing in the big, real, challenging, amazing Game of Life.

/
It is one of those words that drives us crazy because the quest for it never ends and the harder we chase it the emptier we feel. So what is enough? Is it what you already have, or something you can never have? The question of enough creeps into every nook and cranny of your life; your money and your stuff, your expectations and ambitions, even yourself. Join us as we look at what enough thinking does to us, and what it can do for us.

Worth Living For - It’s always exciting to know something is waiting just around the corner, unless that something is your midlife crisis. Maybe that’s years off for you, or it’s too late because you’ve already crashed headlong into it. Doesn’t matter. Today is the day to remember what is worth living for and to live for it. Worth Living For is about the simple and the grand stuff of life, and the simple and grand moves that make the difference. Remembering what’s worth living for is worth taking time for. Here’s what we’ll be talking about…

Photos and reflections by Jeanette Mayo
The turn of the calendar tempts us with promises of newness—fresh starts, better habits, upgraded versions of ourselves. But what if, instead of charging ahead with self-improvement schemes, we took a cue from winter’s stillness? What if we let go of the relentless hustle and embraced the radical idea that we are already enough?
Fabric’s January series, “Give Up,” has invited us into this counterintuitive wisdom—the grace of resting, receiving, and recognizing our inherent worth. Nature doesn’t demand that a hibernating bear emerge as a “better” bear. Spring’s renewal is not about striving but about unfolding what has been there all along.
In Wintering, Katherine May reminds us that transformation often happens in the quiet, unseen spaces. And in Belonging, Toko-pa Turner challenges us to strengthen our “receiving muscle,” to accept the support woven into our interconnected lives. “You are the receiver of too many generosities to count,” she writes. “Count them anyway.”
So, what if we stopped trying to earn our existence? What if we acknowledged the trees, the friendships, the small kindnesses that hold us? What if, instead of striving, we surrendered to belonging?
You are the gift. That’s enough. May it be so.
