Random Thoughts: Note to Alex/Julia



Alex,

This is just a note. I trust it finds you well, in many ways.

The World is changing. Embrace it, enjoy it. If ever there was a time for new thinking and doing, it is now. We seem to have inadequate leaders . We need to learn we don't need hero/Kings. We can be our own Kings. We can be our own hero's.

A bit meta...but the point is if ever you wanted to explore new things, now is the time to do it. If you were paying attention you would have learned from your mom, you need to control your finances. From me, you learned there is more to life than money.

You have the opportunity to make natural instinctive decisions and find a way forward. Let me know how I can help.

Love, Dad.

Notes on the note: Send this to Julia as well? Check it out with her in my mind. Let's do first draft:

You have the opportunity to make thoughtful natural instinctive decisions and find a way forward. Let me know how I can help.

Note to Julia Re grammar. Notes and questions: Hero turns out to be gender neutral. King is not, but I could not find any good alternatives (Supreme Leader? Monarch?). "thoughtful natural instinctive decisions", that's a mess. The problem is I started with Alex and then went to you. I didn't put "thoughtful" in his, so it works better. But I think you may be more think-it-through type. I'm not sure and would love to know. So....can you string agitates together that seem opposite? Thoughtful/instinctive for example. Are there rules?
