5 weeks of crazy talking. Talking absolute madness. I have stopped writing lists of all the ideas in my head as I realise lists are just what I ALWAYS DO. Writing a list is like saying James I don't trust you to remember this. That's kind of silly. I'm not sure anything I've done good came from a list tbh. I didn't put on my to-do list - "write a book" - "start an impactful mental health brand"
I have been talking to Sarah again which is usually the best thing to do in most situations. Follow the bread crumbs I keep saying! Yes! Again a eureka moment, the breadcrumbs. I just follow them and they lead me somewhere. My current breadcrumbs are 1) Getting married - this is more like a delicious crusty loaf 2) Stoke 3) Writing this newspaper.
But James what does getting married have to do with starting another business or a venture or whatever?! Well thanks for asking. I do think if I just do what makes me happy and healthy and fulfilled then I trust the other stuff in my life will just come. Right now getting married is the most important thing in my life. Everything else can wait.
Ah there was something else which I have forgotten! doh. It was something to do with bread crumbs or movements. Tailoring! That's it, I'm going to become a tailor! No no not really, but i did get a suit tailored and wow what a brilliant experience, have I already written about this? oh god I can't remember I probably have, I need to go out more I am forgetting who I have told stuff to. Anyway, what I loved about this tailor in manchester called Adam who was a great bloke was how passionate he was about his craft and how personal the service was. It literally felt like I was buying the suit directly from him and it just felt so good. Then I went to Reiss and bought some trainers from there, who even owns reiss?
I love a craft, a maker, someone deeply in touch with their art. You make something you make it well, with love, with care and someone buys it from you to use in their life, for purpose, for pleasure or for both. Is there anything more beautiful than that?
