Well, folks, this is it. I’ve told you almost everything I’ve learned about living well, twice. It’s time to do other things now. Thank you for reading! I hope some of it was useful to you. Thank you to a whole bunch of you who wrote guests posts and comments. Your presence and insights made TREE into a FFOREST. Thank you to

for recommending FFOREST to your readers. Thank you to everyone who shared posts with friends or family.
Thank you to the folks who put your actual real money into helping the FFOREST grow.
Thank you, Skyler, for all the subscribers you gathered, for writing FIELD GUIDE, for keeping TREE going for the last several months and for being a delightful, positive human. I continue to be amazed at how much time and work you put into this project. I hope you got something out of it that was worth all the effort
Most important, thank you, Christine, for treating the things I make as worth doing, for being the wisest loveliest person I’ve ever known and my best friend and partner and wife, and for proofreading hundreds of TREE posts.
The other things I’m doing now that I’m done giving people unsolicited advice about how to live, which when you stop and think about it is a bizarre thing to do every weekday for 5.83 years
Resitting one of my BSL exams
Writing for at least 30 minutes every weekday
Posting early Bonanza Clementine drafts, artwork and other experiments in this semi-secret location. You are entirely welcome to join this merry little cauldron of creativity
Writing a monthly design review for Brand New
I will post things on FFOREST when the mood strikes. It will totally be a mood thing
Offline things. I highly recommend offline things
Kelsey Lu’s new album is superb.
There will be one last post tomorrow.
Keep growing slowly
Jeff
Grateful for the friendships we’ve gained individually and together, Jeff. Thanks for trusting me with your brain project and for bringing me on board.
Here’s to much success and focusing on future endeavors. 🫶🏻
My deep gratitude for your daily, plain spoken wisdom, Jeff. I'll miss the good counsel, deep sense--and occasional wise assery. All the best!
