INFUSED ACTS

A ritual is a regular act,
infused with intention and meaning.
unlike habits which are automatic behaviours, rituals require our conscious awareness

Rituals are part of our culture

Infused Acts sounds like a potion from the Gods and in the meantime all that it means is that if we change one unconscious behaviour which is a habit into an intentional and deliberate act to consciously create a ritual.

This editorial is actually going to make me think about what habits do I have that are neither healthy, adding value to my life or good for the environment.

No plastic is one ritual that I have adopted already for years as I don’t want plastic to be dumped into our amazing oceans and be the cause of the demise of our beautiful sea creatures. Clean oceans is a true responsibility of our generational heritage.

The new ritual is paper biodegradable bags. All things paper are a better choice.

Minimal printing of business correspondence is a ritual that I changed and I operate mainly digitally.

Buy without excess is another ritual that I embraced and this lead to buying quality rather than quantity.

Honestly, this ritual was the hardest one to adopt because I fall in love with beautiful things.

I curate objects and products for clients and this is where collecting excellence became a philosophy.

My business methodology is very simple it is based on really knowing my customer and finding a solution or a place for a product before I propose it.

This is called a curated architecture of products that best serve my manufacturers and the retailers that I am honoured to work with.

Kitchen sinks manufactured in the EU are like multi coloured rare gems.

Every single one of them is designed and manufactured with pure dedication.

This is what a piece of stainless steel art looks like. It is an awesome material that reflects light.

The invitation to you today is, transform your mind about kitchen sinks turn the habitual functional tasks that happen around your kitchen sink into an infused act of conscious and very intentional moment of meaning and just then a meal preparation habit becomes a beautiful ritual.

Cooking is a creative art, like poetry, writing or flowers architecture.

We have the power to change, validate or desist from habits that we do not want to have ingrained in our brains. Remember habits are automatic.

The best insight is that we have the opportunity to find other ways to make our lives more meaningful.

One habit that I changed in my life consciously was to measure how much money did I spend on things that didn’t have the potential to grow into something meaningful.

This required a real shift as I learned to question why buy?

Will this purchase bring extraordinary functionality, does it enhance my lifestyle experience, is it worth the investment, is it designed to last. These are all important considerations when buying something new.

TRADE ANTHOLOGY

A beautiful way to celebrate your success is to invest your money wisely.

When you buy anything for your home or for your wardrobe be mindful of where the object, product or piece of clothing was made and as an act infused with attention and intention respect the human hands that created it as a ritual of appreciation for the skills and talents of those artisans and designers.

Every day is a new day to create a ritual that serves you and the World around you.
