Week 45, 2025 — another quiet week

Another quiet week—I’m pleased that I managed to get to the climbing gym four times. I haven’t progressed much in terms of skill but I’ve reached a point where I’m enjoying the sessions themselves. That’s a milestone I never reached with running during the 200 kilometers that I ran to train for the Paris Marathon in 2015. It’s also fun that my gym has three locations that are on “my side” of the city. Since the days are getting darker and colder, it’s good to have more reasons to get out of the house. It also helps that I’ve regained access to the Velib bike system. That is a boring story of my credit card being blocked, which I won’t get into.

I finished reading Nadjeschda Taranczewski’s “Conscious You: Become The Hero of Your Own Story”. I met Nadja through her CU*money program, which is a wonderful program that helps people redesign their relationship with money. I’ve recently become active in her Conscious Tribes Community and look forward to attending more community events.

I started reading Anne Lamott’s “Bird by Bird” and enjoying it a lot.
