A publication by Gal Mux

I had been thinking of creating this publication for weeks. And I finally accomplished this fete.

I wanted it to be a publication about something that I really loved and felt great affinity for.

We all have things we love. Some of them we love more than others. They may be the people in our lives, things we love to eat, drink, dance to, things we love to read, to touch, to see, to do, to create, to listen to etc.

They may also be things others might never have even heard of.

Inspired by that beautiful scene in the classic film The Sound of Music. Where Flora Maria sings and teaches the Von Trapp children the song A Few of My Favourite Things, to help calm them from the terrifying storm, I created this publication.

She sings that when she remembers a few of her favourite things, it helps her not to feel so bad.

“I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don’t feel so bad”

I also love to hear about what people’s favourite things are in these world of billions.

With all the trillions of things available for us to choose from in our lives, we tend to have a great affinity towards just a few. Fascinating, don’t you think?

The aim of this publication, A list of my favourite things is to get writers to take some moments and think about their favourite things.

To nudge them to take some few more moments to pen them down and to share them with the world.

It is my hope that them thinking, writing, sharing and in the process immortalising them on the internet, it will bring some warmth and joy in their hearts and that they will also bring a smile to the faces of readers as they peruse them.

Favourite lists can be anything; cars, snowflakes, kiwis, songs, flowers, shoes, colours, food, places, snores, hairs etc. Whatever it is that you like.

They can also be written in any format. Bullet points, essays, comic strips, images, poems, songs, etc. Whatever way that best describes and brings out what you feel.

The list may be long or short.

It may be about things you loved as a kid, things you would like to love, things you loved on your wedding day, on your holiday, on your commute, on your ceiling, on your wall, on your head, things your mother made that you loved, things your great aunt gave you that you loved, noises your cat or dog makes that you love, words your two year old niece likes etc.

Creativity should never be limited. And stories should be told the way the writer feels is best I believe.

I do not intended to have many stringent rules for this publication. I hate rules to be honest. I thrive best in environments where I am free to express myself with few limitations — but within limits ofcourse.
