Let me start by saying HELLO to this incredible, quickly growing group. If you just joined, you might want to start by heading over to the intro page, check out who else is at the table and introduce yourself. I see a lot of you are already chatting in the comments so it seems we’re off to a strong start. So let’s keep going. This week I have a warm up for you and I’m inviting you to join me on a short, delight-inducing 7-day drawing assignment.

Warm Up: Follow Your Gut

I mentioned in my first note, this experiment will be guided by my curiosities, interests and discoveries - and hopefully yours, too. Conversation is way more fun than lecture, and we learn more from participating than observing. So join me. Jump into the comments. Ask questions, make suggestions, share thoughts. Let’s get a conversation going. Substack doesn’t support images in the comments (yet), so let’s try this to share our drawings: post images on Instagram and tag them #DrawTogetherGUT? (GUT both as in “Grown-Ups Table”, and “follow your GUT.”) That way we can all see each other’s work and support each other there.
