Life Force

This message from Erwin McManus is fire.

“Get out in it. Wander. Be lost. Eat real food. Order the steak this time instead of the salad. Or both, why choose? Drink the expensive bubbly. Don’t save it. Light a flare, hold it up for everyone to see. Get outside. Sink your feet into the mud. Touch the sky. Call the friends youContinue reading “A To Do List by Rainier Wylde”

No Small Act

By: Gabriela Yareliz I went from listening to a podcast about Alix Earle vs Alex Cooper (I don’t know these people, but it’s all people can talk about) to Oprah talking about the Hoffman Process (I landed there after the heartwarming Emma Grede podcast).

“There’s something humbling about realizing your timeline isn’t real… [it] felt like an expiration date.Now it feels like an opening.” Danielle Bernstein By: Gabriela Yareliz I always want to play a game, but we never have enough people to do so. I got this new conversation game from Wilde Paper that I wanted to open,Continue reading “An Opening”

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. What the hell were we doing in the 90s? I guess doing exercise aerobics videos (remember the step?) and there were crash diets.

Employee Mentality, Podcasts, and Heat

If you are an eldest daughter, this will resonate. Danielle Bernstein wrote about getting a new phone and spending eight hours without a phoneContinue reading “Employee Mentality, Podcasts, and Heat”
