Slowly and then all at once, they say. So goes my journey with LEGO.
In my last newsletter, I mentioned the year in review process I use to emphasize energy givers in the new year while trimming energy takers. The outcome is a better honed lifestyle. A better understanding of the games you're playing.
So, what’s in store for 2026? LEGO.
Play well, they say. No goal. No expectations. No improving. No performative hustling, the wellness plague of our times. Just being creative with LEGO.
It came out of nowhere yet wasn’t a surprise. I’m sure I played with LEGO as a kid, but I don’t really remember being into it like most adult fans of lego (or AFOL, which is silly, why not just LEGO fan?). Although I’ve always had dualistic creative and technical streaks, the intersection of LEGO, it didn’t speak to me until recent years. Perhaps a sense of minimalism was offended, or a sentiment towards sustainability.
