In 2023, I reached out to various members of my community and asked them ever so simply if they were interested in answering one question a week for the 14 weeks of summer. I was thrilled when many of them gave me a YES! Each question was crafted specifically to discuss one nuance of everyday life that is either over or under discussed. Many of these questions tap into the deeper topics that we either do or do not get advice, or rather “good advice about.”

The main goal of this project was to create a sense of community on the page, to help both answerers and askers (aka readers) to feel like they are not alone and feel seen even by the stranger who interacts with this.

I wanted the answerer to feel validated in the wisdom they have and remember their special, individualized, unique contribution to this world. In this way, wisdom does not belong to one generation over the other, we all have something the contribute!

I wanted the asker to be able to hear as many perspectives as possible so they could “choose their own adventure” with options.
