Greetings The older I become, the more birthdays become about reflection on where I am - physically, mentally and emotionally - more than anything else. Last year, I turned 50 which is a milestone but there was little fanfare. This year I turned 51 and was reminded of my friends - pre and during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic - who didn’t make it. While the grief still lingers, showing itself in moments, I am increasingly recognising how waking up each day is something to be grateful for.
The entry point for me was the Daily Stoic book, https://dailystoic.com/ and some of Ryan Holiday's books. Have since read Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca and kind of internalised what makes sense for me in bits and pieces. Still much more to learn and understand.
As long as you are alive to celebrate, we celebrate too. I am intrigued by this episode and the references, but more than ever your migration to Afripod is welcome... We can carry your work with us everywhere 👊🏾
