ZM hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas. It’s Floral Friday and the energy feels soft in a good way — slower, present, grounded. Today I finally shared something I’ve been quietly building for a little over a week: https://zaoprojects.vercel.app/. It’s an attempt to make what we’re doing inside ZAO easier to see, easier to follow, and easier to hold each other accountable to.
The mindful moment today is simple: enjoy the present. Not as a slogan, but as a practice. Building this reminded me how easy it is to rush past what’s already working. So I added progress bars for each ZAO project, not to pressure outcomes, but to honor movement. Weekly updates in the fractal and ZABAL AMA now have a clear home, with a single source of truth living in a shared table and embedded across the site — https://www.thezao.com/zao-projects and the underlying sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/156HNqh4g07VXT9fMjJjFQzih3Mbmo4gB8Lsr3jLJFs8/edit?gid=0#gid=0.
It’s less about perfection and more about being here for the process while it’s happening.
Take a moment today to notice what’s already in motion.
