Holy wow, this edition overflows with enriching gifts, Malaka! It's more like a list of exquisite things.
Two led me to traipse beyond the links to learn more about creators Morgan Harper Nichols (#4), a 34-year-old MFA candidate, and Jordan Bolton (#6), a designer in Manchester, UK. I wound up savoring other work samples, so thanks for the trips!
As you no doubt know, Morgan's "Small acts of consideration" page is accompanied by seven other stimulating reminders of how to be present, engaging, a good communicator, attentive, thoughtful, resourceful. Your own March 4 minizine on generosity dovetails perfectly with her set.
And Jordan's nine-page Instagram comic moves me too -- a vivid reminder to see deeper, look closer, think looser and appreciate more widely, as well as an homage to the lifelong impact of skilled, dedicated educators . . . including imaginative substitute teachers.
You certainly find beauty and wisdom as you scroll, and are a valued curator of worthy links.
I'll play forward one of Morgan's mindfulness lessons posted on her 34th birthday two months ago. She searched for "I'm learning" in her Apple Notes journal "and it revealed 59 entries about lessons learned from the past 365 days. . . . It helps me realize just how easy it is to forget all of the moments where growth and movement was happening, even though it didn't always feel like it in real-time. Many of those entries are only a sentence or two long, but together, they build upon one another. . . .
I really loved this newsletter! Especially the interview with your Nanay. I'm pretty close to my Ammamma, and I also ask her a bunch of deep questions a lot of the time. Most of the time, I get a vague proverb or a sassy answer abt not wasting my time though :).
