In my head and on the page
Reading - i buy all my books second hand (when i can) and if not please buy from an independent re-saler so we can give them some love.
This book found me at a time when I was trying really hard to change my life, to be somewhere else, someone else. It whispered what I didn’t want to hear but deeply needed: you don’t have to go anywhere. You’re already in the right place. It’s just about paying attention. I come back to it when I feel like I’ve lost my rhythm or practice.
Reading this felt like something inside me unravelling..unlearning thought patterns. It gave language to something I’d always felt but didn’t know how to hold, the idea that we are not our emotions, not our thoughts. That we can let life move through us and still remain open. I’m still learning how to do that, but this book made me want to try again and again.
what real freedom feels like
This one changed me. I started doing morning pages and slowly, I heard my voice again. It’s for anyone who’s forgotten how to trust their creativity.
I don’t know why this works so well but it makes you really get it out, whatever we push down to avoid the truth, you cant lie to yourself on a page.
I love David. Everything he does transcends beauty in all forms, David Lynch reminded my how important it is to protect my inner world.
something less floaty, more real…It helped me understand that awareness is a skill and a gift.
You can see more of my books I’ve read or want to read at goodreads…
Listening
Bella Freud x Nick Cave
I love the way they discussed love and grief, that being a deeply sensitive person isn’t something to fix, it’s something to honour.
Tettragrammaton - Rick Rubin & Inarittu
Two artists who speak in metaphors, they reminded me that creating isn’t about showing off, it’s about revealing the mystery… and that magic is in the mystery.
Rich Roll x John Mackey
made me think about business differently. Like maybe it’s not just about profit or performance, but about creating something that feels aligned. I’m trying to build a life that feels that way. This conversation reminded me it’s possible to build with heart.
Sam Harris x Dan Harris
They explore meditation, meaning, and the messiness of ego—not as experts, but as people still figuring it out.
These books and conversations help me come back to myself.
They help me feel more alive, more connected, more in love with the world.
If something here resonates with you, or if there’s a book or episode that made you feel, I’d love to know. Really. This space is for sharing knowledge. simple or complex.
Please share this with anyone who you think would benefit from some good reading! knowledge and meditation is our superpower. its the truth without the noise.
Love Francesca & The Legendary Spirit
