Weekend Wisdom: “I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.” – Georgia O’Keeffe

It feels weird to have a long weekend during a very long week/month/year.

It’s Memorial Day weekend in the US and usually we would say, “enjoy the long weekend” but no one is really saying that. Long weekends, holidays and other fun occasions aren’t the same lately but most days, I’m in the flow of being in between the old normal and the new normal.

Surprisingly, I like it here.

This is a time of waiting, wondering and creating for me. I’m seeing things through a new lens and through that lens, nothing is hurried or certain or exactly as it will be. Instead, there is more curiosity, rest and fluidity.

What are you noticing in between normals?

Ok … onto the favorites.

I normally wouldn’t look twice at this article but since we are in between normals, I want to decide what to eat and watch based on my Zodiac sign.

And my Instagram fav of the week is from @thewildfeminine for this reminder that we are always learning, growing and doing our best with what we know (and doing better when we know better).

I hope you enjoy this edition of Weekend Favorites and have a beautiful, safe, healthy, loving weekend.
