I loved being a beta reader for this phenomenal book, and can't wait for it to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow morning!. The path to a better life is as simple as running tiny experiments. Congratulations Anne-Laure!.
The wait is over. Tiny Experiments is officially out in the world!! Feeling a mix of excitement, gratitude & the inevitable anxiety that comes with sharing work you truly care about. I believe this approach can change lives and I can’t wait to see how you make it your own.

being discerning is the gift you give to community. it means having guests when you have energy to connect. it means setting clear expectations with housemates. it means showing up for events where you truly add value. it means facing conflicts instead of burying feelings.
being annoyed is the price you pay for community. it means having guests when you'd rather be alone. it means letting someone live with you even when they get on your nerves. it means showing up for events that you'd rather not go to. it means turning the other cheek.

The 6 types of stories:. SV 1. Rags to riches (rise).SV 2. Man in a hole (fall-rise).SV 3. Cinderella (rise-fall-rise).-(SV 1) Riches to rags (fall).-(SV 2) Icarus (rise-fall).-(SV 3) Oedipus (fall-rise-fall). My sci-fi book looks like a SV 2: man in a hole, but Claude INSISTS

Bukowski spent 10 years (his mid 20s-30s) lost in a drunken stupor, accomplishing nothing. It was after this, that he went on to become one of the most influential American poets of his age. It's never too late.

Took a month break from X, and man is this site triggering. I woke up this morning in a small town thinking, 'I am living my dream life'. Got a pastry and coffee, drove to the middle of nowhere, and collected sparkly rocks for hours, sunshine on my face. Then return to X and.

For lasting change in 2025: we can only do small amounts of hard work/day.- Hard work = anything that's not already routine .- Add 1-2 habits each month, in bite-sized daily amounts. Read 👇 'How a Lazy Bitch Like me Learned to be Productive' (30k+ reads).

Found another bookstore with soul. The owner and his wife scour estate sales every weekend looking for unusual used books. The place is a veritable mess, (which I love) and the collection here is sublime. 📍Delphine Street Books, New Orleans.
I've traveled through 15 states this summer, stopping at independent coffee shops and bookstores along the way, and it's become more of a chore than fun. All the coffee shops have the same instagram-clean look with Edison light bulbs and homemade artwork, high ceilings and big.
