  • Start with Why by Simon Sinek

Jack (LaLanne) used to say it’s okay to take a day off from working out. But on that day, you’re not allowed to eat. That’s the short way of saying you’re not really allowed to get unfocused. Take a vacation. Gather yourself. But know that the only reason you’re here on this planet is to follow your star and do what the Muse tells you. It’s amazing how a good day’s work will get you right back to feeling like yourself.” 

Tribe of Mentors

No resolutions

Books that helped

Ever since I made a commitment to decluttering (in 2016), I’ve stopped buying physical books except for second hand ones (cos I can’t resist a good deal) and books that I’ve read either on kindle, or by borrowing from the library.

Because I’m a pretentious fan of David Wallace Foster
Books recommended to me that I really enjoyed
Books that I did not finish reading
  • Why have children —The Ethical Debate:  I guess I already know why not
  • A Little History of the World
  • Buddhism as Philosophy

Softies in December

I had this idea to work on a couple of softie patterns cos I couldn’t find many that I liked during my softie phase.

October Side Aerial

It’s January 15, 2019, and I still haven’t gotten my aerial for sure.

God

Tripping in some room in Amsterdam / Rotterdam? this song really spoke to me.
God is a concept by which measures our painI’ll say it againGod is a concept by which measures our pain
I don’t believe in magicI don’t believe in I-chingI don’t believe in BibleI don’t believe in TarotI don’t believe in HitlerI don’t believe in JesusI don’t believe in JesusI don’t believe in KennedyI don’t believe in BuddhaI don’t believe in MantraI don’t believe in GitaI don’t believe in YogaI don’t believe in KingsI don’t believe in ElvisI don’t believe in ZimmermanI don’t believe in the Beatles
I just believe in me, Yoko, and me, and that’s reality
The dream is overWhat can I say?The Dream is overYesterdayI was the DreamweaverBut now I’m rebornI was the walrusBut now I’m JohnAnd so, dear friendsYou’ll just have to carry onThe dream is over
