It has to be, since you can always make more money but you can never make more time. Time and health are priceless and saying no is a precious skill to preserve both.

Regarding time and global health- I wonder if we may actually be heading into global cooling due to a grand solar minimum (cycles of the sun) and food will be the big global challenge due to climate shifts in the next few years. A podcast called Adapt2030 goes into this at depth and I found it eye-opening to say the least. Definitely worth a look…

Take care and be well

Warren

We have to have a gimmick or an edge or we’re not marketable. If someone were to tell me to forget all the rest and JUST WRITE and that I didn’t need a gimmick that would be the biggest compliment I’d ever received.

Florence’s most stunning churches, that includes plenty of essential artworks, including a nativity scene by Botticelli,

a crucifix by Brunelleschi, and a Madonna by Vasari (who was additionally the architect for the church’s renovation in the mid-16th century).

A lot of travel is linked to shooting nature photos

for any kind of magazine or periodical. Sealing and protecting the inner workings of one’s camera takes special and expensive material.

This inspired post is the only post written by anyone, anywhere, that I have actually read from start to finish in a long time (….eveer?). That is mainly because I am always over committed and don’t think I have the time!

I hope I can take just a little bit of something from it and put it in to play.

Thank you!

Maslow mapped this path. Caring about your qualitative legacy will be next. Few people make this transition…well done.

Everything we do is prosocial – from senior care apps to roofie tests (first that will work). It feels good to get up everyday with a team of prosocial soldiers and say yes, this change will happen, because we will it to be so.
