“Nobody tells you this: No matter how you choose to live, people will tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Wrong priorities. Wrong work. Wrong relationships. Wrong whatever. Your entire life will change the moment you learn to smile, nod, and ignore every single one of them.” Sahil Bloom

The Gift of Vision
“Never forget that the gift of vision was so important that when the world was first created, the first command was for Light in order to see, and after finishing each day’s task, the Great Creator glanced back and ‘saw that it was good.’ We need to see how good it is, too.” Sarah BanContinue reading “The Gift of Vision”
A Personal Choice
This is an important thing to remember and something I keep reminding myself of.
Restaurant Jordnær
This Chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard video left me with chills. It’s powerful. If you can’t watch the whole thing, please watch the last ten minutes.

Retreat to the 90s: Pop-tarts, Fitting Rooms and Paradoxes
By: Gabriela Yareliz Have we made everything too complicated? *Plays Avril Lavigne “Complicated”* Cigarettes are always bad, kids, but the meaning of the image above hit home with me.

But it wasContinue reading “Retreat to the 90s: Pop-tarts, Fitting Rooms and Paradoxes”
