Since my post below on july 23rd, too many positive things have happened in my life that it would take a long essay to explain. Simultaneously I've had some dark challenges surface. We've had unprecedented loss in the family, a loved one leaving us too soon. I feel called to support my parents in ways that only a son could. I'm reminded that such quotations are cliché for a reason; with meditation, prayer, and surrender of will, no challenge is too dark and no goal is too lofty. In fact we all are much more capable than we could ever imagine. in the wake of dark times, I've had legitimate miracles happen and observing daily signs reminding my large, stubborn head to be open to much bigger opportunities. And when I just slow down and surrender, the next action (or most of the time, inaction) becomes obvious. God is love. God is good. And shake is shake, steadily falling and getting back up again.
Up until recently I didn't really pray for things related to business and money. I thought it might be selfish. I thought I "should" be praying for other people. I've realized the opposite is true. If I don't talk to God in business, I'm implying that it's my will, not his.

the ct5v is the American version of e39 m5 (one of the best cars of all time) 6 speed manual transmission, rowdy v8, four-door highway cruiser. A true “one car garage” solution (And by American I mean it is way more powerful but lacks the beautiful design of German automobiles from the 00’s)

It’s not the Cadillac ct5 v blackwing, although I did purchase one of these. immediately drive it off the lot 1,000 miles to visit family. This car is even better than I imagined. GM’s design team was in flow state when they made this thing

Hoodie + the army surplus-inspired denim jacket available now by @ondastu
new hoodie dropping soon for Onda, this is a pattern we worked on for last 10 mos. details: - boxy fit / slightly cropped designed to hit at belt line - special french terry that nobody else except Cherry is really using like this afaik. - this terry creates a billowy silhouette+feels like fleece+super cozy+still breathable since its not fleece. - god tier fabric if that isnt clear yet. actual miracle shit. - sampled/cut/sewn/finished in los angeles with a fair wage workforce (this cost me arm+leg but was worth it) - painstaking hours spent on the garment dye and sun-dye. most brands overdo the sundye. we studied how diff cottons age in the sun (see prev shake posts on fade farm) @OndaStudiosHQ
