Mister Rogers is the best, check out this article for more details but here is the short summary:
1. It’s okay to feel whatever it is that we feel
2. But our feelings aren’t an excuse for bad behavior
3. Other people are different from us—and just as complex as we are
4. It’s our responsibility to care for the most vulnerable
5. We can work to make a difference right where we are
6. It’s important to make time to care for ourselves
7. We are neighbors
What do you think about this list? How are you living out these principals?

The host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood taught kids critical emotional and social skills that are still relevant to adults today.

I have been fascinated by tea since my visit to Chengdu about 4 years ago. While I have not had the time to fully immerse myself in the knowledge, subtlety of flavor, and terroir of all the types of green tea, I have been regularly enjoying loose leaf tea these last few years. This fall, I finally have a slightly lighter schedule and so I have purchased my first chawan, chasen, and matcha! Time to start meditating on flavor, texture, and the process of making matcha.

What daily rituals do you have?

Thank you for the inspiration and mentorship

This article is well worth the read.

For decades, the medical community has ignored mountains of evidence to wage a cruel and futile war on fat people, poisoning public perception and ruining millions of lives. It's time for a new paradigm.

You have intrinsic worth, you have nothing to prove.

Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites.
