Dovi's Digest Volume 3
A weekly Newsletter for all your intellectual, spiritual and physical needs
Hi all, and welcome to volume 3 of Dovi’s Digest.
This week has been tumultuous the world over from Minneapolis to Mumbai, from cyclones to Corona. I primarily started this newsletter as a way to share articles that one wouldn’t normally come across. We have all seen the news cycle from the outlets of our choice and have formed our own opinions. I’m not here to change that or sway you one way or the other, I send this out to share ideas. So please enjoy this week’s articles which include epic sled dog races, capitalist boxers, unexpected inanimate heroes, and even a true crime story.
Thank you for all of the referrals over the last week, it’s very appreciated. With more people signed up, I get sent more articles, which means a wider variety for you, dear reader. So please keep those referrals (and of course, articles) coming!
Please stay safe wherever you may be in the world, and remember to rather spread love
All the best
Dovi
