Hi Friends, 

John & Gaia here, your F**k It guides through good times and scary times.

We recently asked those of you on our mailing list – 

“What’s your Rice Pudding for the Soul?”

In other words –
what words would soothe you through these difficult times?

And we got MASSES of replies.

THANK YOU.

I (John) have spent a good amount of this week reading and replying to your suggestions.
It’s been a very soothing week for me 🙂

And below, I’ve listed some of them.
(Not all of them, by any means, so sorry if yours isn’t here, this is just a selection).

Are you ready to be soothed?
Grab some (real) rice pudding or a cuppa,
Sit back,
And enjoy this –

P.S. A longtime F**k It friend (he came to The Hill years ago) and genius songwriter and musician, Jont, has created a wonderful communal project –
I THINK IT COULD BE POSSIBLE
Where people around the world do a version of his uplifting anthem ‘I Think It Could Be Possible’…
His inspiring video and details are here (and includes our boys, Leone & Arco) –
https://jontnet.com/i-think-it-could-be-possible

Will you take the “possible” challenge?
Our boys did.
As well as Leone & Arco (singing, playing guitar and beatboxing) being on Jont’s main video.
Their full video is on that page too –
https://jontnet.com/i-think-it-could-be-possible

So, if you’re of a musical bent,
Do join in, and do your own version for Jont –

And be part of this amazing project –
