Hello beautiful people of the world. You might be feeling a bit stir crazy while in full quarantine-mode or just mindfully social distancing yourselves. Especially now that the weather is getting warmer and the outside looks sooooo good from the inside of our window panes.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve, we’ll be curating and posting lists of “Quarantivities!” – a compilation of some of our favorite activities to keep our bodies and brains occupied! Check back often for new posts or follow us on Instagram and Facebook to get the latest posts.
Watch
Won’t You Be My Neighbour – Documentary
Do you remember Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood? This movie explores the life and radical nature of Fred Rogers. He was so far ahead of his time when he began the low-budget TV show that became an American classic. It’s uplifting and inspiring and I think we could all use a little extra brightness in our lives right now. Click the link to watch the official trailer.
Why Some of Us Don’t Have One True Calling – Ted Talk
Emilie Wapnick addresses an internal battle that so many people are faced with especially when transitioning from high school to college or from college to “the real world”. She shared her beautiful insights, out of the box ideas for future careers, and even teaches us a new word, “Multipotentialite”.
Listen
The Moth – Podcast
The Moth is a beautiful display of humanity and the importance of storytelling. Each show has a theme and various storytellers who share their stories in relation to said theme. Their stories are true and told live, without a script. Some have you laughing out loud while others bring you to tears. The hours will fly by when you are listening!
