“Start marching forward, even when into the new and unknown, and don’t be deterred by obstacles.”

– Daphne Koller

Personalizing your March Forward

Here are some questions for (metaphorically) making the March observances personal to you:

March 2 Texas Independence Day: How can you rise from your own Alamo loss and create a new, independent future? And kiss a Texan.
March 7 Purim Ends: Where can you celebrate coming back from what seemed like near certain death? And kiss a Jewish friend.
March 8 International Women’s Day: In what ways can you acknowledge and empower the women in your life, and the world? And kiss a female friend.
March 10 Harriet Tubman Day: What can you do to support freedom from slavery of all kinds, even if it’s yourself from a job, schedule, business or relationship? And kiss a Black friend.
March 15 Ides of March: What are the debts you can settle, while avoiding knives out? And kiss a soothsayer.
March 17 St Patrick’s Day: What snakes do you deserve to be rid of? And kiss an Irish friend.
March 20 Spring Equinox: Where do you need to balance your days and nights, your work and your life overall? And kiss anyone.
March 22 Ramadan Begins: How could some fasting, prayer and reflection make you a better contribution to your community? And kiss a Muslim friend.
March 29 Vietnam War Veterans Day: What wars are you fighting that could actually be unnecessary? And kiss a veteran.
March 31 Cesar Chavez Day: Where might you need to press the exisiting system to ensure the highest good for all? And kiss a farm worker.
Some themes pop out for your personal March, yes?

  • Independence
  • Freedom
  • Cleaning up your internal and external environments
  • Making the effort to achieve balance within yourself and in the world
  • Kissing a lot of varied folks to create more unity!

May your March Forward be wildly freed up and full of new possibilities!

Think differently, play better.

Radically,
