How do you make decisions? What is your process? Do you dive right in head first? Do you need to mull and ponder? Do others influence your decisions?
As I prepare for my winter vacation 2023, I notice a difference this year's process versus prior years'. I made decisions faster. Maybe it is because I'm more comfortable and confident with traveling. Maybe I've learned that waiting to make decisions doesn't usually turn out well or more advantageous for me. Maybe it is a concrete example of how I am growing as a person by trusting myself. Whatever the reason, here I am headed to Europe.
A little background: Normally I go to warmer climes such as Mexico, Colombia, and Peru during the North American winter (October-ish to May-ish). However, I wanted to visit my friend who lives in Berlin and I've wanted to visit in December to see the Christkindlmarkts. This year, I decided to sacrifice my warm weather! I started looking for work exchange opportunities in Europe for November 2023 thru January 2024. After applying for some, I interviewed with a hostel in Bulgaria and was offered a position for at least a month at the end of the interview. Normally I would have hemmed and hawed, as we say in the US, and avoided making a decision. In other words, I would have taken actions to avoid clearly answering yes or no to the job opportunity. By delaying making a decision, the decision would have been may FOR me: the offer would be rescinded.
This time I didn't do that and I promptly accepted the offer! Accepted what the universe was sending my way. I also bought my airline tickets to get me to Germany and Bulgaria in record time! Within two weeks of deciding to go to Bulgaria, I had tickets purchased and confirmed. Compare this to my first trip to Europe in 2022. My friend and I were going to take a trip to Milan, Italy. I hemmed and hawed, couldn't commit, couldn' t make a decision on the flight. I ended up paying almost double for my flight from Berlin to Milan and missed half a day of adventuring in Milan with my friend.
While it may not seem like a big deal, it is an important area of growth for me. Planning, making decisions, but ultimately going with the flow and spontaneity that can be found in life. That's what I do. What about you? How do you make decisions? Are you satisfied with your decision making process? In your adult life, have you observed changes in how you make decisions?

En un universo tan extenso de marcas de cigarros y tiendas online que los venden, fue hace unos 3 años cuando probé por primera vez un cigarro de esta marca Adventura, creado por la tabacalera William Ventura, en República Dominicana. Esta marca entró primero a Suiza y Alemania, y de ahí a otros países, incluyendo USA. Fue precisamente en USA, en una tienda que no conocía pero que el pasado…

I’ve mentioned other licensed rpg covers which use existing assets or images to create a striking effect. Sometimes they collage or recomposite them. Other times it's just picking a perfect image. This is one of those latter ones.
I just love this– there’s an echo of a Frazetta Barbarian posing here, but the image is subversive in the characters and postures. I love the way it manages to bring in some many characters without feeling cluttered– and at the same time we really see the land of Ooo.
It is a great illustration and dynamite cover. That’s in part because it does use striking and bold colors. When so many others are muted, dark, or frenetic, this holds together. It’s also a great book to hold in your hand. I bought a physical copy from Spain and did a brute-force translation of the pdf. I adore it. When my sister travels there in November, I may see if she can pick me up a copy of the supplement.
