📚 Books

Read Let That Sh*t Go by Monica Sweeney. Harboring grudges and plotting revenge takes a lot of energy. While the wait for one true moment of schadenfreude sounds oh so sweet, true bliss can be found in simply not giving a you-kn0w-what.

Listen to Classical Guitar Garden by Lawrence Del Casale. Serene solo guitar to help you find peace. My favorite tracks: (1) “Andante in E Minor” & (7) “Andante in C Major” both composed by Fernando Sor.
