Each and every day the Wemmicks do the same thing – they hand out stickers.

Imagine being branded and therefore being forced to wear the title of better than or less than. Imagine wearing the thoughts, feelings and judgements of others outwardly. The gold stars in fact are handed out to people who don’t have grey dots simply to award them for being better, while grey dots are given to anyone with no stars to remind them of what they lack.

Imagine living in a world where the social currency is gold stars and grey dots. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Wabi sabi ed young![]() ![]() Each creature she asks explains how difficult a concept it is to explain, and they often end their thoughts with a little haiku (each one describing wabi sabi in some manner). When asked what “wabi sabi” means, the young woman replies, “That’s hard to explain.” Curious, Wabi Sabi sets out to find the true meaning of her name. One day Wabi Sabi the cat overhears his mistress discussing his name with a pair of visitors. Paired alongside the remarkable Ed Young’s artwork, the final product is a quiet, deep, moving story that may require a special audience, and yet has many uses. Here he is writing his very first picture book and does he select something easy like being the new kid in school or losing your first tooth? No, Reibstein decides to write a book about the ancient Chinese concept of wabi sabi (later adopted by the Japanese), working in thoughts on Taoism, haiku, and even the works of Basho on the sly. He sure doesn’t shy away from trying to teach kids complex philosophical concepts. Credit author Mark Reibstein with this much. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Being nikki![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To that end, we examined data from 52 human adults (67% female) in the Midlife in the United States study who completed measures of PWB, daily affect, and functional MRI (fMRI). Despite extant links between daily affect and PWB, few studies have directly explored the links between amygdala persistence, daily affective experience, and PWB. This may lead to more frequent and long-lasting momentary emotional experiences, which may also be linked to selfevaluative measures of psychological well-being (PWB). Because amygdala activity persistence following aversive events varies across individuals, some may evaluate subsequent neutral stimuli more negatively than others. The amygdala, in particular, is involved in subjective emotional experience and assigning value to neutral stimuli. Neural dynamics in response to affective stimuli are linked to momentary emotional experiences. ![]() ![]() ![]() Count me as a major fan.” - Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s “Incredibly funny, sad, magical, and real all at the same time.
