Bytes of Gyaan Every Week?
Time flies when you’re having fun, they say. I say it flies anyway! I had meant to send this newsletter out every month end You’ve heard me say this before, haven’t you? And you don’t believe me any more! I don’t blame you. Sometimes I struggle to believe in my own abilitiy to be regular with my writing and plans for newsletters/ podcasts etc!
Since I was not able to make this a regular monthly feature, I’m aiming to turn this into a weekly! ;) Every Wednesday. And keeping it simple.
I will be adding links to things/ places/ books/ movies that I’ve enjoyed in the recent past in the Love List Section.
Making A Joy List
Here’s an article I wrote on Medium recently about making a joy list.
I decided to make a ‘joy list’ — noting things that lift my spirit and bring me joy.
Flowers
Dogs
Music
Babies
Meaningful conversations
Kindess — both from me and from others
Laughter
Listening to people have a good belly laugh
Good food
Fruit
Watching people dance (because I have two left feet!)
The smell of water on dry earth (petrichor — relates to rain)
Warm showers
Scented candles
Incense and joss sticks
Collecting meaningful quotes
Writing my Morning pages
A freshly made bed
The smell of freshly washed clothes.
I could go on and on — and I will, adding to this list as often as I can.
Do you have a joy list?
A Love List
Here’s a list of things I’m loving right now - and suggest that you check out:
Read
- Susan Cain’s Bittersweet - In her latest #1 New York Times bestseller, the author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet reveals the power of a bittersweet, melancholic outlook on life, and why our culture has been so blind to its value.
- Dear Nina on Substack - Nina Badzin’s newsletterfeatures honest conversations about the ups and downs of friendship.
Watch
Where The Crawdads Sing (on Netflix)
Follow
Me on Instragram and my blog where I’m documenting my journey with my word of the year - HEAL.
The Sticky Fairy - on Instagram for smiles.
Inspirivity - on Instagram for daily inspirational illustrations.
That’s all until next Wednesday (fingers crossed!). Stay well. Stay joyful.

I don’t have a joy list, but you seem to have made one that fits me perfectly! 💗
Thank you so much for recommending Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship! I loved your joy list, too!
