How to Celebrate National Ballpoint Pen Day?🖊🥳

Every June 10th

When it comes to ball point pens, I'm quite happy with a cheap Bic pen from my local supermarket, but my old mate Remo says he always carries a 'Fisher Space Pen' as part of his uniform, according to his 2014 book 'General Thinker'.

If I ever meet Remo in real life, I'll ask to borrow his pen to write something to see if I'm impressed with his 'Fisher Space Pen' as he is.

I only have a BIC 4-Color Pen in my car to use as a fail-safe if one colour doesn't write for some reason when I need to write something down when I'm out driving around.

I noticed that the judges on the Disney+ series 'Battle of Fates' used the BIC 4-Color Pen when marking down the fate of the contestants.

I must rewatch that series again soon.

I don't like carrying a pen on me, but I do have cups of them around the home and a BIC 4-Color Pen in my car console.

Call it F88 I guess?-)

F is for Fate ... and Other F Words? 🃏🔮✋

Voices from the Liminal and The Business of Woo?💰🤑💸

I watched/listened to the above You Tube featuring Rachel White talking about her new book 'The Business of Woo', and while the book itself doesn't interest me, as I don't want to make a business out of woo, I liked the talk, as Rachel seems to have an interest in Chinese astrology and eastern culture, like I do, she even talks about the Shinto "religion" of Japan, which is something I haven't really looked into at this point, but am curious to find out more, from a cultural perspective more than becoming a follower of it.

Oddly enough, a 'Conversations' podcast episode hit my Apple Podcast playlist suggesting that I might like to take a listen to this latest episode below that aired on local radio on Monday, and I'm not even subscribed to the 'Conversations' podcast anymore.

make everyday life more beautiful

Maybe, I'm going to have to buy a copy of 'Eight Million Ways to Happiness' now? 

And I'm interested now in seeing where Rachel White (AKA The Skeptical Shaman) is headed in the future on her quest.

I found the above 'Love Take Two' podcast episode last night when I did an Apple Podcast search for podcast episodes about "Synchronicities" along with a few other ones, which I had to listen to today as I fell asleep after listening to the 'Love Take Two' podcast episode.

I liked the 'Love Take Two' podcast episode for a number of reasons.

Especially when José mentioned that he was born prematurely on February 14th (AKA Valentine's Day ... AKA Ferris Wheel Day ... AKA my sister's birthday:-), as I just wrote a post mentioning that date.

Plus, José mentioned an album by RAYE called 'This Music May Contain Hope', which he said is an album you he has to listen to from beginning to end once he puts it on the turntable/CD player/phone or whatever he plays it on.

I'd not heard of the album or RAYE until José mentioned them on the podcast, but I did just write a post about 'Audacity to Hope Day' recently -

Then they start talking about #8 synchs and the show 'Medium' starring Patricia Arquette, who was born on April 8th, the same as my dad, and the date his mother passed on (all different years though).
