    Hey my gang,
    So good to see you again so soon! This week, I introduce you to a new intruder that is suffocating everything in sight. Hannah shares a bit about how she's feeling after a recent mishap.
    I introduce you to my new venture, and we dive into why it's important to embrace failure.

    I have 3 prints at home, "Eat, sleep, create", "Love over Gold`' and "Stay Wild". I have moved into 3 homes over the years and they have moved with me, and have a wonderful place in my living room. When people see them for the first time, they stop, read, and then think about the phrases for awhile. I am still very happy with them! just wanted to share! Keep up the good work!! With Love!!!

    Love this so much. I’ve got 3 boys (and have been here since the beginning!) similar ages and the whole time is passing thing has changed as they’ve gotten older and I realise that for me, the most important relationship I’m trying to nurture is their relationship with each other. Brothers are forever. All your stripped back family time is so great for that. Do you think you’d ever go into making family films for others? You’re cinematographer skills are legendary now and I’ve often wondered if it would be a way to made a very decent crumb. Feels like folks would pay big bucks for one of your films! Love love love seeing you all in this liminal time. Exciting things ahead!

    I love the idea of the blackout cards and definitely will purchase for my fam! Just a heads up that you might want to reword the card "who in the family would be the best at selling ice to eskimos". Indigenous peoples of Alaska often don't love that term (some find it pretty offensive because of its history, but not all) and most folks in the US don't use it anymore. Maybe you could replace the word eskimo with Alaskan. Not trying to be extra, just wanted to give you a heads up. I really love your recent content!

    A weed is only a weed in your mind. According to the weed, it is nothing but nature itself just like everything. So maybe one way to accept the "weed" is to accept it as part of nature. ☺The very fact that nature is uncontrollable is what is beautiful. Can you imagine how awful it'd be if someone was controlling the wind, sky, rain, sun, trees, ocean, animals, everything?... It'd be like the Truman show. Let it grow and adjust to it. Nature adjusts itself. You have two choices, either suffer or accept, the choice is yours. And if you really can't accept it, then accept your non-acceptance - that in itself is acceptance.
