“The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people)* of the past centuries.”

-Rene Descartes

*The original quote is “finest men.”

I wasn’t going to use Rene’s quote since it leaves out half of us, but it brings up a point I wanted to share. “Conversations with the finest people…” — that’s what quotes have been like for me. Quotes are like whispers from the most amazing people throughout history about things that we all care about — books, love, grief, longing, humor, peace…the list goes on.

In 2024, one of my goals is to reorganize this blog so that there will be a tab for every theme we’ve ever shared (similar to the “Peace” page). That’s first.

Second, I found a new source for free music — Pixabay! I was thrilled to find it, and so I can begin making videos every other week again to celebrate our themes. In the meantime, here’s a playlist featuring our videos from the past.

Third, and last (for now), I will be featuring an online gallery show with all the gifts from our creatives (including John Olander, Cord X. MCJ), as well as all of the photographers who have so generously gifted us photos for the past nine years.

Next year is our tenth year! I’m a bit gobsmacked (and very grateful) thinking about that.

Thank you for helping to make that possible. I’m so glad you’re here, dear reader.
