Hello Readers,

I am taking off a week. Hug yourself and be grateful.

Putting It on Paper

I found Katsenelson, an investment advisor, husband and father, who blogs on music and life and has written the best-seller Soul in the Game (which I read), urges us to not miss today.

I think I “missed” many days…for years… as I rushed from pillar to post running a business. I am not saying I wasted my time, but I seldom stopped to treasure being alive.

I am going to do what he suggested. What about you? It might help us realize we are alive from the time we roll out of bed until we roll back in at night.

Sending love,

Vicki

Nick Cave’s latest post addresses a disillusioned 20-year-old German’s question. 
 
His answer: humility and curiosity is spot on… but sometimes a struggle to maintain in this crazy world.

I am 20, high school graduant, in my gap-year and I find it pointless to pursue anything in this bizarre and temporary world that is so much against my values in every way possible. I believe I am speaking for a generation here. I am asking with the biggest admiration, what would you do in my/our situation?
