personalFriday, October 9
Today's personal feed spans self-care, public health, metaphysics, and estate planning. The through-line is resilience: how we keep going, whether through micro-moments of joy, continued masking, spiritual awareness, or preparing for the worst.
Two pieces tackle the daily grind of keeping going, one through small joys, the other through continued public health caution.
The idea of a 'joy deficiency' is a useful frame for anyone running on empty. It argues that small, intentional joys are not a luxury but a support for the nervous system, which is a shift from the usual productivity-first advice.
A personal defense of masking in 2026, grounded in a specific product's fit and comfort. It's a reminder that for some, the pandemic never ended, and the choice to mask is now a long-term lifestyle decision.
The other two pieces zoom out: one to metaphysical energy shifts, the other to the practicalities of business succession.
This is a spiritual take on 'plasma waves' and the approach of 2027, describing a cycle of clearing and weaving to achieve presence. It's speculative, but it reflects a persistent appetite for metaphysical frameworks as a way to cope with uncertainty.
A practical guide to a grim topic: what happens to a business partner's shares after death. It clarifies that heirs inherit value, not shares, and underscores how illiquid private business interests are, which is a crucial point for any co-owner.
