10 Things That Matter on a Friday
IT’S FRIDAY. It has been a WEIRD WEEK. And I have some THINGS TO SAY.
Do you know the word sin, in Greek, as it appears in the Bible, means to “miss the mark”. Eckhart Tolle suggests that means the meaning of ‘original sin’ really is that humankind is missing the point. We’re living for the wrong reasons and not focusing on what matters. Lately, I’ve been feeling that on a deeply personal level.
But I stuff those feelings down and I buy things like that tinted lip balm dupe of Clinique’s Black Honey and those press-on nails from Olive and June. (They have lasted an entire week so far!!!)
And I watch a lot of television… like Beef, and Single Drunk Female, and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Succession.
I know that’s part of the point that we’re all missing. We all care too much about consumerism and not enough about what truly matters! LIKE THIS RACCOON LAMP.
And trips to New York to see TJ and Dave.
And Something About Her merch because we’re all #TEAMARIANA.
WHICH REMINDS ME that what’s important are the people who support us and love us and SHOW UP when we want to drink a lot of Witches of Weho wine and watch Vanderpump Rules all weekend long. (Thanks Kelly!)
It’s also important that I have two best friends named Kelly and two best friends named Jess. When speaking about them with people who don’t know them I say, “Improv Kelly” or “Sleepeating Kelly” and “L.A. Kelly” and “Vermont Jess” or “Everett Jess” and “New York Jess” (previously Austin Jess, L.A. Jess, 72andSunny Jess). Here’s a food rec from each of them, I imagine. Sleepeating Kelly. L.A. Kelly. Vermont Jess. New York Jess.
Also important, good books that remind you of Hallmark movies but you can imagine better acting in your mind.
And the perfect writing utensils and a fresh notebook and reading The Artist’s Way.
Have a good weekend. I hope you focus on THE THINGS THAT MATTER. Don’t miss the mark.
