Taking the week off from #thinkingthings this week. Only ‘follower’ and ‘other’ things below - enjoy :)
ALSO
I am looking to grow the community here at #thebalance (see #otherthings below).
SO, if you feel SO inclined, I would appreciate it if you could forward this little newsletter to just 1 friend within your network.
We have a budding community here behind this newsletter and I am looking to grow it further.Its my hope that others will enjoy it just as much as you do. Thanks for reading. See you next week.
❤️ Like, share, and add to ‘my contacts’! It helps others discover what they have been missing out on while ensuring gmail doesn’t junk this newsletter either :)

🤔🤔 #thinkingthings
A timely quote from one of my favorite mindfulness teachers….
“We are uncomfortable because everything in our life keeps changing -- our inner moods, our bodies, our work, the people we love, the world we live in. We can't hold on to anything -- a beautiful sunset, a sweet taste, an intimate moment with a lover, our very existence as the body/mind we call self -- because all things come and go. Lacking any permanent satisfaction, we continuously need another injection of fuel, stimulation, reassurance from loved ones, medicine, exercise, and meditation. We are continually driven to become something more, to experience something else.” - Tara Brach
📲🧑🏽🤝🧑🏻 #followerthings
^^lol on several counts
^^In the interest of current times…
^^I love it when VCs turn 2020 trends into a Twitter thread of original thought.
📚⏯️🎤 #otherthings
I am starting an online community built on the curiosity pillars of this newsletter.
Why? Well because, in the spirit of bursting echo chambers, we have hundreds of readers from all over the world and I think its time we get to know one another a little more intimately and foster some connectivity sparks.
I am looking to continue to progress the experience that comes with reading #thebalance. My hope is that this is another way to add additional value into your life.
SO….
🚨🚨 I will be launching a community group chat on WhatsApp in the coming month whereby connections will be facilitated, knowledge will be shared, and digital meetups will be had.
…. hit reply and respond with a ‘✋’ if you are interested!
(for those that have already responded, I will be in touch soon!!)
