March’s Letter

As a society we are continuously perpetuating this narrative of “prepare to compare”; ‘likes’ are now currency for self-worth and validity as to whether your life, social status, and position in the world is “worth it”.

January's Letter

Reflect for a moment on how wildly different your life was at the start of the last decade compared to now. Think about how vastly different you look, how your opinions and values have changed, how your family structure may have shifted, how your thoughts and intelligence have evolved, and how your relationships have cycled. Could you have ever believed back in 2010 how your world is now in 2020 – and how utterly far away and distant that date once felt? Yet here we are, within a blink of an eye we are bigger, older, uglier, more experienced, wiser, smarter, and more discerning.
