A short and sweet non-traditional gift guide for any time of the year: jesst.substack.com/p/evergre… featuring vintage photo albums, my favorite roll-on unisex perfume and portraits of possessed dogs.

To stay on the LONG path of progress you've got to hold (and harmonize) competing ideas at once. This is so important.
Stress AND rest

Solitude AND community
Success AND failure
Caring deeply about goals AND non-attachment
