Welcome to another Yosh! post!
DOSSIE, a JEDEMI regular awoke with a DING!THING of her own. Getting folks to “The wRiting-R” is challenging but doable. Read on to learn how! —The Gang
Note: We introduced “Yosh” in the post.
The Japanese word “Yosh” is used in manga to convey, “Alright, let’s go!” Or as they say in Katie’s household: “Go means go!”
Above is a short clip that says what we’re saying (and demonstrating): For sure, “yosh” is spontaneous and energetic—a verbal burst of enthusiasm or resolve. We believe if you embrace the DragonBustR Way and it becomes a Way of Life (interwoven), you may find yourself bursting with enthusiasm and resolve.
Now on with the story!
MUSINGS R ESSENTIAL – Overcoming Preconceived Notions…
FADE IN:
INT. JEDEMI CAFE – ABOVE
While LP REGULARS, JOEY and DOC are hanging out at THE STOOP near the JEDEMI CAFE parking lot (See YOSH! 02), two others, FRANNIE and DOSSIE are monitoring activity from above at the cafe.
Dossie has her JOURNAL with her and has set it down to show a sketch to Frannie.
Dossie’s Musings…
DOSSIE
It came to me this morning…
FRANNIE
Oh?
DOSSIE
I shouldn’t say “it” because what I had was… a 1-2 punch-like experience.
FRANNIE
Figuratively…
DOSSIE
Of course…. Take a look.
Frannie studies the page.
FRANNIE
What am I seeing…?
DOSSIE
You know … our former Suit, Ms KATIE has been working on that DRAGONBUSTR FRAMEWORK and its… Three Rs just seem to flo… to fit.
Reading, wRiting, and ReCreating
The OG Welcome…
FRANNIE
Reading, wRiting, and ReCreating… We had a hand in that too.
DOSSIE
Humor me please as I have to … talk about the TWO in the 1-2 first.
FRANNIE
Okay…
DOSSIE
The JOURNAL… We may have gotten lucky how our KATIE embraced it and easily assimilated it into her life FLO…
FRANNIE
Well… We’ve watched Happy Puppy KEE-RA’s human do some good work — Heck, she filled one already.
DOSSIE
Right… but again, I think these two ladies might be the exception rather than…
FRANNIE
Go on… Please…
DOSSIE
I heard from reliable sources…
FRANNIE
That would be SPECIAL AGENT SQUEEK (the former DOORKAT here) and RC THE GREMLIN, right?
DOSSIE
Yeah. They said KATIE’S attempts at sharing the Joy of Journaling are getting … some push-back with push aside-ness occurring.
Dossie draws on the BLACKBOARD.
FRANNIE
I see. The “not for me” pre-conceived notions…
DOSSIE
Our Katie bought in because she was ready and also because she started back when the whole MORNING PAGES thing was getting its run. Remember?
FRANNIE
Oh yeah. THE ARTIST’S WAY. We modified the concept — adapting it to our LITTLE SUIT knowing she was an athlete very familiar with the concept of VISUALIZING…
DOSSIE
And also… tapping into her past experience having done some visualization training that incorporates hypnosis… Remember?
FRANNIE
Yeah. The idea was to relax, squeeze out the negative and then with a clear mind be receptive to…
DOSSIE
Uplifting stuff… energizing and confidence building…
FRANNIE
Right! The purging of spiraling thoughts … negative and matters of consequence stuff… makes room for the good stuff. What you’d like to see happen. Writing your own script. Starring in your own script…
DOSSIE
And Katie’s got that down… A morning ritual that’s very much incorporated into her Daily FLO.
FRANNIE
So…
DOSSIE
So we’ve gotta … get the word out… Maybe show the connection… And really — it is a gateway to sustainable happiness if you think of it.
They both pause to ponder.
FRANNIE
You’re onto something there as we HAVE witnessed the rising confidence in Ms Katie and…
DOSSIE
Goes hand-in-hand WITH the Journal. It’s in the FLO!
FRANNIE
Yup! For sure, in the FLO –hand to paper… writing and drawing…
Revised Greetings
DOSSIE
Writing and drawing until… she feels like PENCILS DOWN. Could be a little. Could be a lot.
FRANNIE
Ah… The deviation from THE ARTIST’S WAY– which advocated 3 pages.
DOSSIE
Understanding the number was a suggested goal, not literal…
FRANNIE
She adapted it with that TIMER. She challenged herself to commit to 20-mins of focus.
DBRs Timer…
DOSSIE
And it worked. I believe she’s even written that the approach ties back to her running… from Day 1 when her coach said, just go for 20 minutes and build up…
FRANNIE
Not miles, but time.
DOSSIE
Coach said, go as you feel.
FRANNIE
And we’re saying, wRite…
DOSSIE
And dRaw… as you feel within that 20-minute window.
FRANNIE
AND… It’s okay to double down if the FLO is going really well.
DOSSIE
We’ve watched her with that old school kitchen timer manually reset as she surprised even herself on how quickly the time flew by.
Again they pause to ponder and observe the goings on below at the cafe.
FRANNIE
So, musings are essential. The story must be told. Got it. Now circling back… can we delve into that 1-2 thing?
DOSSIE
Sure! Check it out!
FADE OUT
