October leaf palette. If you zoom in to the colours and details it will dial down stress a little and help you recover if there's any angst for you later today (research has shown this)🍁🍂🌾🌿

One of my goals going forward is to read something each month that ties to neuroaesthetics, biophilia or something that I am trying to learn. This filled that need. It's not new but highly recommended - especially for new parents. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

I’m ecstatic to be speaking on a panel of artists at High Point Market on October 17th, to share my abstract biophilic art and how it supports many neuro-scientific and biophilic concepts for creating health and creativity. If you are designer also attending, I’d love to meet with you.

I wish I could remember who recommended this to me. What a curious book but most definitely thought provoking. Jacqueline Harpman novel writes of unimaginable trauma amongst a group of women in an empty environment. #Booksky #52Books #52BookChallenge

Apparently, this was Isabel Allende's first novel. I've just learned that there is a mini-series also and I'm inclined to watch it. Beautiful writing but it took me a while and I let too much time pass between readings. #Booksky #52Books #52BookChallenge

Darkness really does help. I splurged for my birthday and bought one of the black silk ones with the space for lashes. Black out curtains are great too but a lot more expensive and they don’t travel with me. 🕶️

A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

I feel really naive but I had never grasped the "economics" of slavery and the part that birthing and selling children played in it. Really. That will stay with me from this day forward.

I feel like time travel has become very popular recently. Oonagh out of order and the Matt Haig book were both in my list over the last year or so. It worked well in this because it allowed for a modern perspective on what was happening.

The birthing and selling of children was something that I had never fully grasped about that horrific system. This book made me see that.

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane
Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.
