The last year of the decade in four acts

It’s hard to believe that the year is almost ending. I barely updated or wrote anything here. It’s not like nothing happened, on the contrary, I had one of the most incredibly active and fulfilling year of the decade, and I’d love to share it with you.

As you might figure, it would be quite indigestible to pour everything out in just one post so I decided to break it into seasons, or acts, like a play. My life’s play over the last year.

There is, however, little tidbits that don’t fall into any of the seasons or acts but are still worth a share. Here they are, also in groups of fours.

4 favorite podcast interviews:

  • Rupert Sheldrake on Under The Skin with Russel Brand

  • Safi Bahcall on The Tim Ferriss Show

  • Rory Sutherland on London Real

  • Robert Macfarlane on On Being with Krista Tippet

4 most played songs:

  • Sisyphus by Andrew Bird

  • Metal Pluriarc with one Woman, Instrumental Music of the Kalahari San

  • Fallen Through Time, Outlander Soundtrack

  • Jealous Guy by Donny Hathaway

4 aha-moment quotes for which I don’t have the source as I just wrote them casually on my journal:

  • All emotions have a story behind them

  • Self-sabotage is misdirected self-love

  • Absolute perfection comes from faith not behaviour

  • Joy is best served without a side of shame

4 favorite food combination breakthroughs:

  • Beet & tahini, sweetened with banana and apples, warm, for breakfast

  • Sweet potato & red pepper, in a smooth soup

  • Cashews & preserved lemon, creamed, as a salad dressing

  • Dried apricots & any type of curry powder blend, in a warm sauce


This is it for now. More on this past year very soon.
