Books Read: Sacred Economics, Revised: Money, Gift & Society in the Age of Transition by Charles Eisenstein 📚
Human nature does not exist in isolation; it emerges in response to its context. Today’s economic system elicits selfishness and greed. What would an economic system look like that, like some ancient cultures, elicited generosity instead?

We are taking an Advent Calendar approach to Christmas Movies this year. A different Christmas movie or program each night until Christmas. Just finished Miracle on 34th Street.
Excited about the new lock screen customization… I now have quick access to two of my favorite camera apps and the native one. Each can be set to a different purpose.

Books Read: Faith, Hope and Carnage by Nick Cave 📚
Just finished reading. I have become a fan of Nick Cave in the last few years. This book is a deep dive into his faith, music and philosophy of life. Often moving, filled with insight. Highly recommended.

Really enjoying this book. Full of recipes and stories. The recipes are interesting. Presented in narrative form, they are more a guide than a recipe. They give you guidance but you have to deploy your cooking spidy sense to make them. Some experience helps.
