Season 3: Ordinary Moments On The Fiber Farm
Listen now
Description
It turns out that we humans are terrible at estimating the value of the present. There is a study I just read by Harvard researchers. They found that as time goes on, we regret how easily we let moments go.  So, maybe the question, “What’s next?”  doesn’t need to be answered by moving or with a new big adventure or project.  What if we decided to stop underestimating the value of the present in our own lives and started figuring out how to capture and learn from those ordinary moments that one day the study says we will likely long for?  For this third season of A Fiber Life we’ve decided to forage our lives for ordinary moments and create an auditory scrapbook of sorts. We are by no means experts in this endeavor.   It’s going to take trying some new things, changing some old habits, and navigating more than a few obstacles, I’m certain of that.  But, in the end, I think it is a worthy thing to work on.   If this resonates with you, I hope you join us in our exploration and find some peace and respite by listening to the sounds and stories about our little fiber farm on an island in the Pacific Northwest.  Important Links:  A Fiber Life Website: www.afiberlife.com The Study Lisa References:  https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797614542274 Connect with Lisa on social media:  https://www.instagram.com/afiberlife/ Learn more about your ad choices.
