I couldn't agree more with the idea that being interesting is about living a life with fewer regrets. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut and miss out on all the amazing experiences the world has to offer. Thanks for this insightful post – it's a great reminder to "minimize the swagger" and approach life with a sense of wonder and openness. I hope more people read this book.

Neera, I really liked #9 - Grow a pair lol. That sounds like something I'd say!

This is a great list.

I can imagine you saying that Kristi. That advice is right up your alley. Want to say, I have been binge reading your Wildhood newsletter and really enjoying it. You are a master headline writer. To be able to include humor in my writing is my ultimate goal. Love your work.

Neera, thank you so much for the compliment 😊 I have always wondered if humor can be honed or if it just comes naturally to some. I really admire comedians and have no idea how they do what they do.

If anyone knows how comedians do what they do, it would be you. My only bet to include humor in my work is through images. I plan to include little comic strips in future issue. Although it's going to take a lot of training/practice to get it going. But once I'm there, I am sure it will become natural. I am following Lynda Barry's example here. Hope you know who she is.

I think we would all like to think we are interesting, and also being able to communicate with all people is part of that. Well that’s what I think 😄

We surely are, that’s why people read our posts. But there are certainly more things we can do to share those with our readers. Doing the same things can become mundane.
