For a few months now, my thoughts have coalesced around the idea of sowing. Sowing and invest and planting seeds of thoughts, ideas, relationships, and more specifically online assets in order to reap the rewards of work and connections I own - not my employer, not a social network company.
Even more specifically, I am sowing into others through helping them learn faster and smarter using insights from cognitive science.
As always, I’m enjoying your insights and plan to take the seeds they have planted in my mind, to sow into new opportunities and places in 2026.
Sowing is a fantastic theme for the year ahead, one that feeds into many areas. I’m taking more of the architectural analogy with my foundation-laying but that’s partly because of the house and partly because of needing a more active metaphor this year…
My year this year is going to be mostly devoted to Fables from Mystamyra, because Elves need their voice. Elves are magic, they don’t use magic.
For them, wind running where a single step goes from tree to tree is so natural to them they can go miles in a few minutes. Or calling a storm because they are the daughters of the wind. They don’t command things with spells, they just command them.
Wish me luck — for the Elves, the true embodiment of balance!
Good food for thought here, James.

The good book uses both - building, and planting. Helpful to consider each in it's own way. Look forward to seeing your house taking shape.
