Let the British Breathe

 I've been consuming a lot of British content lately, including the new Beckham documentary, John Lennon's catalogue, the Pet Shop Boys catalouge, and news clips from the BBC, amongst many other things. I also recently discovered keinemusik (they are German, but foreign nonetheless). 


I honestly don't know what the point of sharing what was, but all the same, cheers to that era. I have also been indulging in scents, both for my home and body. I really am enjoying the concept of slow and steady. Slowly and steadily adopting better holistic habits, among other things. A pe ko to jeun, ko le je 'baje. 


What else? (I am thinking as I am typing)... I also need to work on my digital jobs blog (to be tagged here once I eventually do it, what will be a segue into planning for the digital agency I am starting up with a good friend of mine. 


Looking forward to this weekend in Atlanta with family, and the walk I am participating in my firm on Saturday.



p.s. - X (fka Twitter) read it first but I make the best charcuterie boards. 



Till next time,

That's How the Cookie Crumbles.

For the fall season, and for the first time in many years, I am fully engaging in many 'fall traditions', not limited to warming wax fragrances, scented candles, baking cookies, consuming apple baked goods, going to the State Fair, and indulging in lots and lots of apple cider. 


If those are the signs of finally being settled, then I guess you can say I'm settled. I have to make an effort to take note of these things, given my tendencies to downplay my progress and/or just move on to the next goal. This is my first time just enjoying an accomplished goal (in this case, buying a home), and I am making full effort to do just that. 


I have also been indulging in nostalgic Yoruba movies, like 'Ori'. I really can't believe a 2004 movie is now 'old' - or maybe I can. It is the 2014 movies being considered old that I cannot get over. Time is going, and we must keep moving along with it. A beautiful reminder to desist from things that don't matter and focus ferociously on the things that do. I wrote a blog post on this a while back. Time waits for no one, nor do the cookies that eventually crumble (this phrase has no substance nor relation to my post, I just wanted to include this in the blog post).
