Calculated Chaos, an oxymoron if you’ve ever heard one. But in reality, we’re often trying to calculate the chaos today will bring, process yesterday’s, and plan for tomorrow’s. Hopefully here you at least get to laugh at what we find fascinating, absurd, or comforting.
The hosts of Calculated Chaos share dramatic Amazon reviews and discuss recent experiences, offering humorous commentary on customer feedback.

Ce moi de mai (the month of May)
May can feel like a benchmark in the year. Easter festivities are behind us, the flowers and trees are in a full growth spurt, the days are more consistently warm or temperate. It’s a great time to really hone in what the rest of Spring will be for you/family, and dream/plan a little for Summer.
It can also be a time when you realize your goals from January aren’t exactly on track, so it can be a great time to simply reflect and refocus, (ah, alliteration) and tweak those goals that may or may not (ooooh pun alert) have been too ambitious for your current season.

His Dream Life
Josiah's "Dream Life" is out! We talked about what sort of things he values and hopes for, and we also got into what the Lord has been teaching us. We often find that He is working similar or complementary things in each of us, but just how we individually need to hear. Look at God. That's just how He works.
Here's the ChatGPT Prompt if you want to try this game of crafting a dream life and compare with a partner or friend!
"I want to create my goal and vision for 2025.
Please guide me through this process by asking me 20 questions one by one, and when I'm done answering the 20th question please write my dream life story for 2025, what my 2025 affirmation will be and then my top 5 goals broken down by relationship, business, family, money, body, and life."

Her Dream Life
Join us in hearing Cailin's 2025 dream life, using ChatGPT! It's funny, but our conversation gets deeper than the superficial of the goals and dreams listed. If you want to try this AI prompt, copy and paste this to ChatGPT in the app or on the website:
I want to create my goal and vision for 2025.
Please guide me through this process by asking me 20 questions one by one, and when I'm done answering the 20th question please write my dream life story for 2025, what my 2025 affirmation will be and then my top 5 goals broken down by relationship, business, family, money, body, and life.
