Be Disciplined
A good reminder for confusing times.
Forwards Always
Forwards Always is a collection of poems to be read aloud. According to the author the book is a toy, a script, a game and a puzzle. And the poems are activated through performance and play. How you choose to make sense of them is up to you and your audience. Apparently there is a good one about melons.
Made me smile.
Insecurity
“It is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar.”
― Anaïs Nin
Portable Watercolor Set
This portable watercolor palette with built-in water containers makes me want to break out my watercolor equipment from art school again.

Life
“Life can disappear on us just like a cup of coffee consumed on autopilot. In other words, to really experience life itself, as opposed to just more thinking about life, we need to remember we’re having an experience.”
Tinker Friday
I am completely smitten by this collection of videos created by Dina Amin. On Fridays she picks a random product, disassembles it, examines it and makes a stop motion story with its parts. This is delightful!
S’Well Founder Telling Her Story
Love hearing fellow founders tell their stories. In this case Sarah Krauss, founder of S’well bottles.
Now I am wondering, how do I get a call from one of the Oprah Magazine editors to run an article about Tattly?

Build A Ship
“If you want to build a ship, dont drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast endless sea.”
– Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Life
“Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It’s a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.”
