I logged into LinkedIn just to check in, and saw a bunch of posts from people taking sabbaticals A lot of them shared similar goals for their time off.. things like resting, getting healthier, spending time in nature, reading, finding hobbies, just living and being more present It’s wild to me that in North America these basic human needs aren’t part of the norm while working, they only seem possible when people fully step away from work The work/life culture in the West can be so bleak and lifeless god damn #gm #nostr #work #life #northamerica

Last year I hit a bit of a crossroads - I wasn’t feeling fulfilled in my job, I was doing 60 hour weeks on work that didn’t line with my values, and I was living far from everyone I cared about One thing that really helped me find clarity was watching YouTube videos from older folks sharing life lessons and reflections they have in their later years Honestly, super powerful stuff, especially if you’re in your 20s. You start to notice the same themes coming up again and again, and there’s a lot to learn from that Definitely gave me the clarity I needed at the time to make certain decisions. Thought I’d share #gn #nostr #thought #life #reflection #philosophy

Miss me with the whole “never sell your bitcoin” crap. The point of saving money is to live the life you wish to live Instead of cashing out through an exchange, trade with someone you know. A friend, partner, or family member sends you fiat for what you need, and you trade them bitcoin Now you’re helping them stacking more for their future and you have the fiat to finance whatever it is you need to finance. Everyone wins #gm #nostr #bitcoin #hodl

It’s been 7 months since I stepped back from my role at a small consulting firm, and I’ve been reflecting One of the roles I valued most was working as an Agile Coach For 13 months, I worked with two global IT teams - helping them set direction and organize themselves, communicate better, and improve how they worked together What I appreciated most was how the role brought a human touch to a high pressure corporate environment I really tried to create space for honesty, reflection, and enjoyment within a group or introverted IT professionals working remotely. I found it fulfilling for myself too, seeing them open up more to each other, play around, and just work better as a unit Something I wanted to write about and share on here because it’s been on my mind the last few days #gm #nostr #work #coaching #teams

Ready for my clients home, will be installing next week! Stay tuned #gm #nostr #artstr #stainedglass

Finishing up on this 45x25 window for my client The style is quite different than my traditional approach, but it fit well with the modern interior of their home Will be giving it a final polish in a few days before it gets installed into their home #gn #nostr #stainedglass #artstr #art

@jack mallers, Mailbag Monday’s feel like I’m back in university and you’re the professor, cheers

Stood face-to-face with Van Gough and his life’s work An experience that I can’t put words to. An experience I will forever hold close #gn #nostr #art #travel #vangough

Been offline for a few weeks! Took myself to Europe for the first time with some longtime friends of mine My cup is feeling extremely full after seeing more of the world and it has honestly felt like an ego death to me. Like I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes already and this was the final check mark on life Of course I’m still young and there’s so much more life left, but it feels like anything moving forward is now just a bonus? Idk, can you relate? #gn #nostr #travel #europe #photography #life

If there’s one thing you can count on me for, it’s having my carryon absolutely filled with snacks for a plane ride #gm #nostr #grownostr #travel

Anyone have any tips for growing parsley? It’s my one herb that’s been struggling to grow this year #asknostr #nostr #grownostr
