Go on more walks. Walk for no reason. Walk to solve a problem. Walk to blow off steam. Walk to get outside. Walk to listen, read, and learn. Walk to escape distractions. Walk to improve your health. Walk to think. A simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

I owned a tiny bookstore in the 90’s before Amazon and Barnes and Noble came to town, both contributed to my downfall just short of 10 years, oh well. But I have to say that it does my heart good to know that Amazon’s brick and mortar crashed!

retiring and opening a little bookstore was my dream for many, many years. when I was in Aspen in 1965, I was having a terrible time and then stumbled into a store called "Quadrant Books and Gallery" owned by a Boston Jew named Ivan Abrams. being him seemed like paradise, and for years after, people would come back from Aspen vacations telling me that Ivan sent regards. and THAT'S where my bookstore fantasy started. god knows I have enough books and CDs here to open a store and then some. the choice, however, is...uhh...idiosyncratic.
