In March 2023, I decided to write 5,000 short stories. It will be a mix of fun, insightful, and inspirational stories from my reading and life journey.
Why stories? Because they are fun. They connect us. They have the power to uplift, form, and change us for the better.
Why 5,000? If I add an entry daily, this project will take about 15 years. This number is so large that it’s pointless for me to sprint. This means I don’t have to hurry. I can take one step at a time.
If you enjoy this project, I share the stories in advance as part of my free weekly newsletter.
