Now you have.
​
​(And yes, Mum approved of the new look 😅)

You see - at the start of each year, Maddy (my partner) and I undertake a process called:
​
​Grand Master Planning.
​
It's a life mastery process that prompts you to answer dozens of questions across all 7 major areas of your life.
​

​
And it's tough work.
​
It forces us to snap out of auto-pilot and deeply reflect, discuss, and decide in what direction to take our lives.

Q55 under the Health section reads as:

My response to this question is usually along the lines of:
​
​"I'm a-OK and love it as it is"​
​
But while completing my 2025 edition, I didn't feel like providing that response again.
​
I was feeling an itch to evolve.
​
Or "reinvent" myself.
​
Even though we've returned to the same house we lived in before going overseas in 2024.
​
...we felt that something was different.

We were different.

And how we viewed ourselves was different.

So similar to how artists continue to evolve across their careers.
​
I knew it was time for me to do the same.

After an hour of Pinterest mood boarding for "Blonde curly afro" inspo.

And a hair colourist referral from my barber.

I locked it in an appointment with Tyrone.

Saturday. 10am.

And after ~3 hours of 3 rounds of application.

(And a scalp that was tingling from the bleach)

I came out feeling - same, same...but different :)

​
This quote helps me re-orient whenever I'm entering a new season of life.

Rather than solely focusing on what I need to "do".

I instead focus on who I need to be.​
​
​Be → Do → Have
​
​Because your own self-image is a powerful compass that'll guide you on the "do"-ing.
​
So Reader, I'll leave you to ponder this for a moment after this email:
​
​Who do I want to be in 2025 and beyond?
​
​Chat soon,

Mamba
