Clustered city. Layered history. Urban grit. Markets. Art. Colour. People. Books. Saturday. #johannesburg #culturallandscape
Don’t forget about #nationalbubblebathday :) (The sweaty and tearful days are less instagramable so no I’m not just sitting in a bath tub all day, but it was nice to treat myself for a hot second, and remind you that I’m still alive even though I’m in the big, bad, “dangerous” African city ☺️).

Cheers to a 2019 that keeps us all flowing in our natural element. #happynewyear

Lungs feel charred, dry cough is persistent. I hope we have a goat day tomorrow. #norcalfires #goatsofinstagram 🤘🏼@gong
How do you build a community for entrepreneurs and creatives? @sandbox always pushes my heart and mind. This weekend we grabbed our masks for forest fires, and retreated at The Land near Mendocino. — How does a weekend retreat look? We started this time with a workshop setting an intention - Mine was to teach and learn one thing to/from everyone. — We were put in rotating pairs to answer 1) what do you want? 2) What are you passionate about? 3) how do you want to change the world (I added ‘today’)? — Later we had a ‘hot seat’ exercise. Members get berated with questions publicly. Thankfully I was volunteered by @jesserickson and completed half my intention pretty quickly. Questions: -if you died tomorrow is there someone you would regret not having said something to? (No). -favorite books that everyone should read?(All spirituality/religion’s book for better global understanding) -something terrifying happened to your father last summer, how can Sandbox support you (I now understand how to support grieving friends better - tough parts actually hit way later. Wondered about models to cope through adversities while continuing to simply live life. Jess Cole and @notorious_e shared wonderful insights, like: in the future I will better articulate what I need in difficult situations.) -what does love in action look like to you? (Love and life in action is about finding your gift and sharing that gift with others). — Speaking of gifts, we had a talent show! (Sean is secretly Beyoncé!). Later, @babymeatball quizzed me on my sales and money skills, @markbao , molly and I had a deep convo pondering how machine learning could teach curiosity in the future of education, and @dgaspersz gifted me with his framework for lifeplanning. — Today I woke up feeling smaller and thinking: I’m not that special. The world is pretty simple. We’re all humans. We eat, sleep, poop, and have approximately 80 years to figure out the kind of life we want to live. Life is a test with no clear rules or answers. The point is to be the best person we can be. Take care of you, people crossing paths with you today, and if you are lucky, those in the future.
She is damn gorgeous and I think Mother Nature thinks we could be doing better to protect her. Hazy skies brought to you by #forestfires in Northern California, #climatechange and other #humanerror
Today kept me smiling...I was happy to see the diverse representation of those who exercised their right to vote. Especially because I could not! Thanks to all for showing up. #vote
