57. You Are Here To Be Swallowed Up
Welcome to The Dossier #57! If you’ve found your way over by some miracle (someone forwarding this to you!) but are not yet subscribed, here, let me help you with that:
Hola friends,
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.
Here’s a song to get you started.
And five more things you may find interesting and/or meaningful.
1. On Punctuation
Using this now in every sentence.
2. Slow Fashion
The Growing Peace T via Story MFG.
3. Career Pivot
My favourite thing to do right now is hunt for stories of women who have followed their passions and left the bullshit of corporate life behind forever.
Meet Cristiana, who went back to her family farm in Greece and created this delicious olive oil.
4. A Quote
In her novel, The Painted Drum, writer Louise Erdrich discusses taking risks:
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.”

5. Simplify & Share
My new favourite instagram. (I’m training my mind to think this way)
See you next Sunday.
