“It is Winter 2027. What does your life look like? What are you doing? Where are you living? Who are you living with? Do you have pets? What kind of house are you in? Is it an apartment are you in the city are you in the country? What does your furniture look like? What is your bed like? What are your sheets like? What kind of clothes do you wear? What kind of hair do you have? Tell me about your pets, tell me about your significant other, do you have children? do you have a car? Do you have a boat? Talk about your career? What do you want? What are you reading? What are you making? What excites you? What is your health like? Write this one day ten years from now. So one day in the winter of 2027, what does your whole day look like? Start from the minute you wake up, brush your teeth, have your coffee or tea, all the way through until minute you tuck yourself in at night. What is that day like for you? Dream big, dream without any fear. Write it all down. You don’t have to share it with anyone other than yourself. Put your whole heart into it. Write like there is no tomorrow; write like your life depends on it because it does. And then read it, once a year, and see what happens.”

Downloaded Scrivener yesterday and almost completed the draft of the recipe book.

It’s January after all. I’m still in pain. It’s better than yesterday though, or the day before.

Wait but why?

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.”

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

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.
