News Brief

To be honest, there isn't that much interesting news this week. There is backlash from Elon's tweet for government agencies to submit a weekly report. Trump wants to cut the U.S. defense budget by 8% yearly, over the next five years. European leaders are marking the occasion of three years of war in Ukraine. There is a developing story about a shoot out in York PA, and otherwise I could talk about Israel. The news cycle is slow but also this is part of the dividend that you get for being part of the Life with Ken community. I've touched on some aspect of almost every highlight mentioned in a previous Newsletter or on my X account. We are not a news Newsletter. I share interesting stories because I want to encourage you to be a more well rounded, learned, and relevant person. Follow us on social media and I'll give my take on some compelling stories as more news develops this week. That said, the pope is in the hospital for double pneumonia he is in good spirits and is being well taken care of.

Encouragement for Your Week

This week I want to encourage you to get comfortable. I used to be of the mindset of staying uncomfortable for an undetermined period of time out of respect for whatever my context was at the time, until I felt it was safe to be more loose. What would happen more often than not is I'd enter a new season, have a new life circumstance of some kind and be tepid and timid. After several months I'd feel like it's okay for me to start proverbially unpacking and making the space mine, only to all of a sudden have things change on me and I end up being in a new scenario, and starting this cycle all over again; not this time. I find myself in a new situation yet again, and instead of waiting until the end of this new season in my life to get comfortable, I'm choosing to get comfortable on day one. I don't care how long this new season lasts, five minutes, five months, or five years, I'm inhabiting my space period. Things in life can change too often for you to wait for the right moment. By the time the right moment comes it's time for a new moment. So, get comfortable now. Act like you own the place now. Be the head person in charge now. Decorate that proverbial or literal office now. All that's going to happen is something else will change and you'll have to inhabit a new situation. Get comfortable quickly so you can be as effective as possible for as long as possible.

Hello Reader, Yes, it's Tuesday. I hope your week is off to a great start! The end of this month is the end to a handful of things for me. Mainly and particularly it marks the end of the first part of this year for me with respect to Life with Ken, as we are going on spring break or semi-hiatus for May and June.

Hello, It's wild how two to three days can exacerbate into two to three weeks. I had a family member tell me, and it's kind of a common understanding, that keeping up with your responsibilities is easier for whatever that's worth, than having to catch up on your responsibilities. But, sometimes life happens and you end up playing catch up. That is where I continue to be at in this season and it's too much to fully unpack at the moment. Update from Ken Hello and welcome to the new Newsletter...
