Day 4431: Who Shall I Be

Posted on February 18, 2025 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday was Who Shall I Be Day, and who shall I be if not someone who finds out what that means.

I’ve actually explored who shall I be throughout my long life, as I’ve been a technical writer, film student, teacher, partner in an advertising agency, psychotherapist, mother, songwriter, and —of course! — blogger, who shares images like these.

Who shall I be today? Someone who doesn’t drink wine (or any alcohol), who would love to have ice cream for breakfast (but won’t), who has relied on a pacemaker battery for 62 years to keep me alive, who hates Florida, and who appreciates my thumbs because everyday I use them to create this blog on my phone.

Here’s what I find when I search for “who shall I be” on YouTube:

Who shall I be? I shall be someone who expresses gratitude for all who show up here, including YOU!

Day 3037: Living the dream

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, I saw this at Mialisa salon, where I was living the dream of getting a great haircut from the dreamy and fabulous Mia.

Mia is a dream of a hair stylist because she is

talented,
kind,
thoughtful,
curious,
authentic,
honest, and
never, ever shaming (even when I do a terrible job of cutting my own bangs).

I am living the dream because I am doing all that I can to spend precious moments on this earth with people (and other creatures) like Mia.

I am living the dream because I love my work as a group therapist.

I am living the dream because I’m working at being the hero of my own story and helping others to be the heroes of theirs.

I am living the dream because I have a healthy and hilarious husband and a healthy and wonderful son.

I am living the dream because I live near the ocean and am healthy enough to take walks every day.

I am living the dream because I just got a good night’s sleep with no disturbing dreams by slowing down my busy mind and reciting this over and over again: “We are all one, connected. I am at peace.”

I am living the dream because I’m going to Nashville in two weeks with my ukulele, my original songs, and a great haircut.

Do you see any signs of me living the dream in my other photos from yesterday?
