What would I tell my younger self?

Today? This…

Point and call out beauty everywhere you see it. Do the same for the truth and good that finds you and that you find.

Celebrate the success of others.

Don’t dam your tears.

Meaning > Money.

Pause by orchids.

Always assume positive intent in digital communication.

When you can, make time to prepare your meals.

Busy and efficient are not the same.

Be.

Love is the engine of the universe.

Oh…and it’s going to be ok.

The Light

Other than rest, try to think of something you will enjoy today without light. Not much, right?

That’s because the dark was made to be slept in not walked in.

Who brightens your day? What lights up your eyes? Where does illumination happen for you? Can you name the shine in your soul?

Stay where The Light is.

Throwing a changeup here…periodically I will start to share some of the interesting people, places, sights, sounds, and ideas that I’ve crossed paths with.

Here’s Vol. 1 of Friday Finds.


Peg and Awl

Peg and Awl started in 2010 by Margaux and Walter Kent.

The Kent’s from Philadelphia have inspired me from afar with their work, craft, and art they’re putting into the world. If you’re looking for handmade leather goods, this is the place.


“Saturn” music video by Sleeping at Last.

What happens when Ryan O’neal of Sleeping at Last collaborates with Michael Means and Tom Shea? I don’t have language for that answer. Enjoy and job well done gentlemen.


One Breath by Adam Skolnick

Haven’t heard of freediving? Prepare to be in awe of what humans are doing below the ocean surface.

Alchemy

Cooking, music, gardening, relationships, business, and love are meant to be our teachers.

In them, with them, around them, and through them…there’s process.

…there’s rhythm.

…there’s surprise.

…there’s unity.

…there’s community.

…there’s togetherness.

…there’s whimsy.

…there’s expression.

…there’s happenstance.

…there’s vulnerability.

…there’s solidarity.

…there’s interconnectedness.

…there’s interdependence.

..there’s giving.

…there’s receiving.

…there’s time.

…there’s space.

Align yourself with the alchemy of all things that come your way.

The greatest teachers are even better students.
