Back and (re)focused.
<p>Well what do you know... a comeback episode! </p><p>It was only a matter of time until I took back the reins for a new chapter of the Hopscotch Chronicles adventure, and although half of my english vocabulary seems to have vanished in the last year, I'm excited for the future.</p><p><br></p><p>Here's the TLDL (too long, didn't listen) version:</p><p>The podcast was going great, but I burned myself on its rhythm. Need to do varied things, creatively speaking, and so this "platform" will now include more personal endeavours, including proper video content and other surprises. The channel will now be specifically focused on the subjects of creativity and inspiration, but still through the lens of mysticism, spirituality and philosophy.</p><p><br></p><p>SOME LINKS:</p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dominicvallee" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@dominicvallee</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/domi_vallee/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/domi_vallee/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557665457736" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557665457736</a></p>
