Learning to love you more.

Just a swift post for now.
I was having a browse on the internet, & came across a website I remember finding for the first time a couple of years ago - learningtoloveyoumore.com
It's a lovely website (well, I think the idea was a book first? I'm not sure), that has now unfortunately now finished what seemed like a social experiment.

The premise is was "Participants accept an assignment, complete it by following the simple but specific instructions, send in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and see their work posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments is intended to guide people towards their own experience."

There were manymanymany (70, I think) different 'assignments' - ranging from things that could take a couple of minutes - Assignment #27 Take a picture of the sun.

- To ones that could take a couple of hours - Assignment #1 Make a child's outfit in an adult size. 

Reading through them, they're lovely! & maybe a good idea on days like today, when I have nothing in particular to do...except maybe something that will seem mildly productive, like Assignment #9 Draw a constellation from someone's freckles.


Why not join in?
I doubt I'll do them in any particular order...just what I feel like that day, I suppose :]


Watch this space!

ps. Something I thought was interesting & worth sharing - this weeks Grazia magazine had a small review of musican The Tallest Man On Earth. Really nice, summery music. One of his songs is currently my alarm-tone. Delightful to wake up to!
