      Barely had a minute to myself today, so this was a quick and dirty 9pm effort. I actually know the solo, but it's been a while and I didn't have time to run through a few takes. Maybe I'll pick it back up on a later video

      If you want to start a community, the best tips I can give you are:
      
      DO
      - Have a code of conduct
      - Get moderators once your community gets past a certain size
      - Make it about the members, not yourself
      
      DON'T
      - Expect people to see the world the way you see it
      - Ignore feedback from community members

      After biting the bullet and getting Cricut Access for the sticker feature and then a couple hours of calibrating and troubleshooting, I finally have a relatively painless sticker manufacturing method.

      Started my bullet journal spreads for July with one of the Double Line Deco pens I got at Papier Tigre in Paris. I've been bullet journaling for 9 years, so before it became a mindfulness system and long enough to remember "if it keeps you journaling, it's bullet journaling"
