Transmission 080: Fantastic purple

- - - - - GREETINGS, EARTHLING - - - - -

The fall routine is in full swing.
Welcome to a new week.
Here’s what’s happening on your planet:

Monday: Star Trek Day
A show known across the universe for its unintended comedy
and even more unintended alien stereotypes.
Everyone likes Spock though.

Tuesday: Steak au Poivre Day
The best Earth dish.
If you haven’t tried it, YOU MUST.

Wednesday: World Suicide Prevention Day
A heartbreaking fact of Earth is how many lives are lost this way.
Check on your people.
Send a kind message.
Nudge someone toward the light.
And if that someone is you, please reach out.

Thursday: September 11 Remembrance
I remember that day like it was yesterday.
A tragedy that showed the worst and best of humanity.
Be grateful for your freedom.
Be proud of your compassion.

Friday: National Gym Day
A good workout always helps me feel better when I’m low.
Work your body, work your mind.

Saturday: Roald Dahl Day
Need a story for the weekend?
Try Fantastic Mr. Fox.
You will not be disappointed.

Sunday: NFL Football Returns
Still confused why it’s called football.
Mostly hands.
Unlike the European sport called football that actually uses their feet…
Should’ve gone with “Hand Oblong.”
Maybe not.

It’s also National Pet Memorial Day.
Walk their favourite trail.
Look through your old photos.
Miss them with your whole heart.

Purple.

To me, purple means fun.
Cool.
New.
Fancy.
Interesting.

It’s not trying to be taken too seriously,
but it gets noticed anyway.

It’s the colour of royal cloaks
and delicious grape flavoured things.

And on my home planet,
it’s the colour of dirt.
Beautiful, shimmering, electric dirt.

Purple is the colour of home.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, Tao, Alan Watts, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.

If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.

If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.

Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
