🌱 TREE 173: What’s your genius?
No one is a genius at everything. But everyone I’ve ever spent time with is a genius at something.
You are too.
It could be a life or relationship skill. It could be connected with your craft or your job. It could be a clever hack. It could be something you do during sex. I don’t know what it is. Maybe you don’t either. Too often people don’t value their own genius.
If you think you are not a genius at anything, please ask someone who knows you well, so that you can change your mind. Do it today.
Did you know that every guest author, past and upcoming, is a TREE subscriber? There is so much wisdom in this FOREST. Most of it is still untapped. I’m actively thinking about more ways to connect your knowledge and wisdom to the rest of the the FOREST. One way you can help is by letting me know what your particular genius is.1 Even if you do it ever so bashfully (‘I guess my friends think I’m pretty good at _______’), let me know. Send me an email. Even better, leave a comment.
Grow slowly

I don’t know if he is an actual perfume genius. I do know he makes a good pop song:
The Memory of TREE playlist – every song from every email:
Maybe don’t share your sex skills. I’m very proud of you, but this isn’t what we’re focussed on here.
I'm good at figuring out how to get things done. I do use Google and YouTube for that a lot though 😂. But, I replaced the igniter and the temperature sensor in our oven by myself a few weeks ago, and also learned how to cut through pvc pipe with string when I was replacing the inner workings of the toilet and found that the overflow pipe was too long.
All right - I asked my husband and this is what he said:
Baking: I'm definitely better than Brandon, but I'm not sure I'd consider myself an expert
Mario Kart: I am actually really good at Mario Kart.
Being fair:Â I thought that was an interesting one and it's one I probably do excell at because I think it's so important.
And JUST TO BE FAIR, Brandon's are:
Cooking: He's really good, could have done it for a career if the stars aligned differently. I am a well fed lady.
Always prepared: It's as if he truly internalized the Boy Scout's motto. This guy has a full set of clothes vacuum sealed in the trunk of his car "just in case"
Loyal: Â The most loyal friend, husband, and person I know. He supports the people he loves no matter what.
