I am not a Type A by any stretch of the imagination, and I can easily judge myself that I should be. Therefore, your lovely, honest and vulnerable post gave me permission to Not Judge myself about that and appreciate moving at the rhythm that is right for me. Have a wonderful weekend and a big hug from one of your balcony girls! Dear Amazing, WonderWoman, Jeanne,

I LOVED your kedging story. I am not a Type A by any stretch of the imagination, and I can easily judge myself that I should be. Therefore, your lovely, honest and vulnerable post gave me permission to Not Judge myself about that and appreciate moving at the rhythm that is right for me.

Have a wonderful weekend and a big hug from one of your balcony girls!

I grew up around sail boats, growing up on an island, but had never heard that term. I like it. I knew that whalers and fishing schooners were very creative in getting their sterns moving -- nothing good happens when becalmed or adrift. Interesting term, kedging.

Personally, I prefer trimtabbing, speaking of ships and things. Concept put forth by Buckminster Fuller. Every large ocean ship has a rudder on the back that turns the behemoth. And on every rudder, now, is an itty-bitty rudder called, you guessed it, the trimtab. Turn the little trimtab, that turns the rudder, which turns the might ship. In life, I'm always looking for the trimtab -- what is the little action/event/occurrence I can do that will make an extraordinary difference in the thing on which I'm working? Move that, and for a minute effort, I get a major result. Keep up the good work, Jeanne! Interesting concept. Personally, I prefer trimtabbing, speaking of ships and things.

It's a great image--thanks for shoving it into my already overcrowded brain.... The kedging goes slowly–but I guess that’s the nature of the beast.
