“We have a world to remake” ~ KRISTA TIPPETT
Dear Readers, Community, Friends,
If you could leave a gift to be received beyond your years on this earth, what would it be?
Katie Paterson, a Norwegian artist, has embraced this concept in her project entitled, “Future Library” whose development will continue far beyond Katie’s lifetime. A forest was planted in 2014. In 2114, the trees will be used to print the first copies of books by participating authors, who will have, by then, donated 100 works (one each year). Margaret Atwood, was honored to be the first contributing author.
I am so incredibly grateful for Steven Kotler and his book, The Art of Impossible. As a naturally curious, passionate and creative soul, I can’t tell you how many times in my life I have experienced overwhelm and exhaustion because I was working harder, not smarter towards my life’s mission.
Even if you use the graph below as a guide, do some exercises, or are inspired to read or listen along, I hope Steven’s clear way of communicating optimal experience will also help you towards the lasting gifts you want to leave our world. You are the best gift the world can receive.

Happy Reading!
And, here is a little local shout out to Pigeon River Mercantile in Canton!
I had a great experience there finding locally made items for a raffle drawing. Do you know what the carved squirrel is used for – pulling out a hot oven rack!
You may be happy to hear that the old paper mill’s steam whistle is now housed in the high school, and blows every time the home team scores a point in their games. For over 100 years, the whistle blew to keep time for the employees, and along with the school, the local radio station broadcasts the whistle at noon – what a sweet way to preserve an historic sound.
