I’ve started stacking my books that I’ve bought this year on my bedside table.
I have to keep a homeostasis of reading versus buying this way. Buying too many and not reading enough —> stack topples on me while I’m sleeping. I unfortunately was victim to a pummeling this morning. My bookcase isn’t in my bedroom so this provides me an easy look at everything I’ve bought/my physical TBR.

Great because it’s easily in reach for lazy days where you don‘t do anything besides read. I also plan to read other books in the not too distant future, I just don’t know how on theme they are with this stack.

I got a bed frame last month. Before that, I’d spent the last 3 or so years sleeping on a mattress on the floor. I usually read until I fall asleep. I’ll wake back up confused & let the book slip from my fingers back onto the floor. Looking at it honestly, I think this arrangement is a rotten black root of disorder in my life, and I should probably take steps to change course before it’s too late. It’s difficult to find a good bedside table.

Before I eat I’ve started to pray before meals. I pray for everyone involved in the cultivation and creation of my food. From the farmers, to the grocery clerk, to my roommate who sits with me while I cook.
Helps me remind myself that even something as small as my meal is a part of a bigger community. Maybe it does nothing, maybe attunes myself to others around me (especially to migrant farm workers + their struggles), maybe it’s just sending good vibes.

You do not need more advice.
Or practice.
Or thinking about it.
Stop talking about it. Actually do it.
Do it in baby steps or in giant leaps…but just go do it.
I wish I traveled/worked out/spoke more languages/read more/made more art/knew how to do XYZ type conversations do not get you closer to doing it.
Book that class, pick up that paintbrush, save that money for your flight, download those language apps and use them, buy that book.
shut up and do it!
With love

Looking for cheap simple vegan meals?
Countries with a high Orthodox Christian populous fast from meat, dairy, and animal products for more than half the year. Typically you can find a treasure trove of meal ideas from these countries googling the term fasting foods plus the countries name
I.E.
Russian fasting foods
Greek fasting foods
Belarusian fasting foods
Ethiopian fasting foods
Simple ingredients, vegan, and different. Part of the ideology is that fasting food should not be overly complex so you will not be hunting down ingredients
