Perspective, Gifting, and the Tao

Perspective
This science video on instagram shook my core a teeny bit. In fact, every time I watch it, it makes me feel dizzy. I’m not sure which perspective it’s shifting for me – Our insignificance or our connectedness? Let me know if makes your stomach flip.

Homegrown Gifts
Birthdays are a big deal in our family. Last week we celebrated mine and I gotta say my family did it really well. Thai food, strawberry shortcake, and homemade gifts. Nick is the master of music in our household and created this fantastic playlist, the girls gave me original art, and Elliott memorized a poem and recited it to me! Do you ever do homemade gifts?

Tao
The Parent’s Tao Te Ching is my favorite parenting/self help/spiritual text. If you are a parent, you need it. If you aren’t a parent – it’s still gold. I try to read it every day. This section – CLOUDS OF LIGHT – is one of my favorites.

I’m reading Ann Handley – and attempting “less is more” – what do you think? Is the brevity of this email better for your busy day?
Shoot me an email and let me know.
