“Synchronicity is about finding meaning in the coexistence of events that are not causally related. Synchronicity gives you a glimpse of the holistic functioning of our lives with the entire cosmos. Manifestation is generally understood to be how our desires and intentions find expression in our life. Both successful manifestation and synchronicity events can indicate that you are on your correct path, but frankly those messages are not as meaningful as the deep sense of easiness and naturalness in your heart that tells you are living your purpose.” - Deepak Chopra

“People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.. I’m talking about all this disposable crap. What I’m saying is buy less, choose well. Don’t just suck up stuff so everybody looks like clones. Don’t just eat McDonald’s, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That’s what fashion is. It’s something that is a bit better. -VW”

“There is a real connection between culture and climate change. We all have a part to play and if you engage with life, you will get a new set of values, get off the consumer treadmill, and start to think, and it is these great thinkers who will rescue the planet.”

Mexicanizing my yacht shoes

ceee — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:09:00 -0600

I’ve had a pair white canvas yacht shoes for a couple of months and finally took the time to intervene them.

Materials: cotton shoes, desired fabric, paper, scissors, fabric glue.

1. Make pattern. I used magazine paper a pointy nail file to ‘trace’ the shape onto the paper.

2. Cut fabric.

3. Glue fabric to shoe. I applied UHU glue to both surfaces.

4. Repeat.

“When we increasingly experience the world through one or many disembodied self (Inalhan & Finch 2004); when we live in a world where relationships with people, places, objects, and companies are shaped by semantics and not only by physical proximity; when our digital identities become persistent even when we are not sitting at a desk and in front of a computer screen, then we are reshaping reality.”
