Daily questions for writing, thinking, and conversation.

 

Working in retail sales for most of my life, questions have been my bread and butter. The more you know about someone, the more deeply you can connect with them and, well, the more shit you can sell them. Over time my relationship to thinking of and asking questions has shifted from a necessary means to make money to an essential way to connect to my true self and the truth in others. It’s a m’fing sport around our house now. You can follow along on my Instagram stories by clicking below to see them (most) every day and the most recent questions are listed below.
