They Didn’t Follow My Directions

Today starts a new Slow-Cook Inquiry series.

Can you find a time when you were upset that someone didn’t follow your directions? Let’s work this concept all together this week in the comment section below.

Here’s How It Works

1. Inquiry Circle.
2. You will get an email with the next step of inquiry every day (five days a week).
3. You click on the link in the email to come back here to the blog.
4. You post your answers to the question on the blog.
5. You read and get inspiration from what others have posted.
6. This will continue until we have thoroughly worked the stressful concept. Then we’ll start with a new concept for the next week.
7. Feel free to use an initial or a pseudonym if you prefer to be anonymous.

Here Is This Week’s Schedule
