The Sharp Pains of Self Discovery

“It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.’”

-Marianne Williamson

Happy Monday, folks. I hope you had a great weekend.

I realized this morning that I need a break. Although I haven’t published a lot here over the past couple weeks, I have been hard at it.

Business is good. And, since the beginning of the month, I’ve put a lot of effort into a new website, which I launched last week. Please check it out.

I have some audio to post from last week, for paid subscribers. Once I do that, I’m going to step away from Substack for a two or three weeks.

I need to get away. I need to finish some of these books I’ve been reading. I need to listen to more music. I need to get out of the house and get out into the world. I need to journal. I need to reconnect with myself.

What I’m reading

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by David Grann

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, by Anne Lamott

What I’m watching

The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, a film by Ken Burns

What I’m Listening to

b’lieve i’m goin down…, Kurt Vile
