How often have we found ourselves pondering: Right decision? Wrong decision? And I don't mean only while navigating through a new city or hood. Buying a present - this or that? Getting a pet - yes or no? In our everyday lives we are constantly confronted with decision - bigger and smaller ones. How we tackle life's little dilemmas says much about us - some discuss it with friends, others draw straws, again others get numb and take no decision at all. But now there's a cure for us curious and creative ones: Mapology Guides will help us find a good decision!
Mapology Guides is mutual project between my friend and fellow blogger Tina Bernstein and designer Mike Abrahams. Their mission is to help people explore every day questions and as a result make better choices and decisions in their lives. They encourage bite-size, visual learning and self-governing personal growth.

Great posts on this blog!
If you asked me, I'd say bake the bread and then walk the dog while the bread is cooling down:-) happy weekend!
DeleteA complete surprise on a Friday.
ReplyDeleteHa. What a fun post and so true to Mr Happy!!!
Thank you so much Igor. I really appreciate the time you've taken to take these photographs and show off Mapology Guides in the best way. LOVE IT!
I also particularly love that you and Gerard (@Walnutgrey) posted on the same day. A real treat for me and so humbling..... a memorable day indeed!
Thank you my friends.
You're welcome, Tina! It was a great and fun day with the Mapology Guides in Munich! And what a cool coincidence to be blogging on the same day like Mr. Grey☺️👍
DeleteWonderful Igor :-) Funny we posted on the same day & I love that our styles are so different.
ReplyDeleteWell there must have been some connection between us today:-) like the two different approaches we took to present the project to our audiences!
DeleteThis post is great! I love it when you have something visual to look at/refer to to help you make decisions. It's much clearer and better than speech as you can keep referring back to it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this project and will definitely take a closer at it now - like the sound of Be Present Perfect, as I like to feel that I am getting something that will suit who I buy the gift for.
