A new earth by Eckhart Tolle
•••
I feel like this should be required reading. This is just a mind bowing book on ego and presence. I plan to just start reading it from the top now that I’ve finished. I’ve been slowly reading it over this year and it’s been kind of mind altering

Kick the latch by Kathryn Scanlan

This little novel is a blunt but detailed look into the life of a female horse trainer. Based on a true story. I really enjoyed her fire and grit. You can also really feel her love and care for the horses.

The Decline of Deviance
•••
Really enjoyed this article. I definitely feel the same about influencers on instagram all sounding the same, new buildings all looking the same, the devastating fact that people are picking grey/white/black over colors. Let’s get weird please. Some of my favorite excerpts: “Everything’s gotta last: your joints, your skin, and most importantly, your reputation. That makes it way less enticing to screw around, lest you screw up the rest of your time on Earth. (“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Make sure I stand up from my desk chair every 20-30 minutes!)” “Imagine how you differently you might live if you thought you were going to die at 65 rather than 95.” “If we want a more interesting future, if we want art that excites us and science that enlightens us, then we’ll have to tolerate a few illegal holes in the basement, and somebody will have to be brave enough to climb down into them.”

The disappearing act by Maria stepanova
•••
I really liked this little book. A woman basically going through an identity crisis. It left me thinking, what would it be like to just drop everything and become someone/something else?

My favorite planner (and notebooks)
•••
Leuchttrum 1917 Week planner. The week spread is VERTICAL with the time ranging from 7am to 10pm. The vertical time spread helps me from over booking myself which I used to always do with a digital planner. Their 2027 planners are on sale now and I’m really excited about this sunflower color. ☀️

Drivers by Mattia Filice
•••
I haven’t really read a book like this one. It is a novel (although the writer is a driver so it’s based on personal experience)about a train driver and their experience through training and driving trains. A difficult job where the workers rights are frequently left behind. At times this book felt despondent and eerie but other times felt filled with hope and a deep feeling of community and being there for one another.

Woodland Vigil by Kara Duval
•••
Just a beautiful article that to me feels about the shortness of life but also the beauty of it. “We walk onwards because that’s what living means.”

This camera from campsnap
•••
I’ve been using this camera for camping trips and I love it. It keeps me of my phone, idk if any of the photos will turn out. It’s like having a disposable camera but you can upload photos to your phone later.

Orbit friendship tracker

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A way to help me keep track of what’s going on in my friends lives and if it’s been too long since I’ve contacted them. It’s also so beautifully designed. I just love it.

Biking/walking without headphones
•••
Because you’ll miss it. The three youth hawks up in the trees chatting with one another. The church choir practicing ‘take me out to the ballgame’ on a Sunday afternoon. The person who compliments your bike Your hair Your fit The neighbor that says good morning. Or the one who declares ‘you’re what they call a brick house’. The podcast can wait. Live with the world for a while, You’ll see things you don’t even believe.

Culture Study: “They Don’t Want You to Read”
•••
Fav section: “And that’s the big thing. Friction. Reading is technology that’s full of friction. Settling into somebody else’s words is magic—their voice…inside your head! But it takes focus and, even more importantly, it takes time. Reading, for many, requires quiet or at least concentration. You can’t read while walking the dog or doing the dishes or in the car. Text doesn’t autoplay when you log into a news site and when you finish a story, most sites don’t throw another one at you like YouTube does. This will sound precious as somebody who writes for a living, but it’s not exactly a fair fight. What makes reading so vital, so fulfilling, is friction. And the internet is trying to eliminate friction in every way possible.”
