Hey friends, happy weekend. Hope you’re all staying safe and finding moments of joy during these days when the latest news can feel so overwhelming. I’ve been feeling ups and downs, as well as the uncertainty that all of us are experiencing, but I’m trying to focus my energy on the things that keep me feeling grounded. Things like cooking healthy meals with fresh summer ingredients (turn up the music and get lost in the flow), spending some time writing each morning, putting away my phone to be present with my family, and checking in via call or text with one of my friends each day. The types of things that sound basic on the surface, but that we so often neglect when life gets stressful.
If you haven’t done it before, try writing a list of the things that personally bring you joy, and figure out how to work one or two of them into each day; it makes such a difference.
Lots of good reads this week, so settle in with a cup of coffee and scroll on…
