Weekend Wisdom: When you don’t feel like yourself, get back to basics. Slow down, rest, drink water, eat food. Start with the basics. It’s usually the simplest, gentlest things that make the biggest difference.
31 Days of Gifts You So Deserve is back. If you’ve already signed up, thank you! From recipes and playlists to crafts and holiday magic, this is the gift that keeps on giving throughout December. I love how you gift it to share with friends, family, co-workers, book clubs, and more people you want to lift, support and connect to. It will likely be the least amount you spend on something (and you don’t have to go to store or even wrap it). Learn more here and remember it’s only $3.10 for the whole monthly program.
- This email series has become one of my favorite holiday traditions. I will absolutely be joining again. My favorite thing is that they remind me to take it slow and savor the season. – Joanna
- I love that for 31 days there will be a little treat in my inbox that may last for a couple minutes (a cute story) or longer (a playlist or a recipe). It makes me go sit near my Christmas tree – embrace the moment- and have a moment for me. – Loretta
- I appreciate that it appears in my email box but doesn’t feel like a demand, more of a pleasant suggestion. I appreciate the variety of ‘gifts’, some tangible, some not, always creative. – Lois
- I have received your 31 Days of Gifts for the past two years. I love the playlists, your peaceful writing style, and recipes the most. I have gifted this to a friend in the past because I knew that she would enjoy the playlists and the small amount of time that the email lets you step to the side of the day and find some peace. – Valerie
