Weekend Wisdom: Get clear on what matters by getting rid of everything that doesn’t.
It’s ok not to be ok.
If 2020 is teaching us anything, it’s that feelings come and go (and come and go and come and go). That means we aren’t going to feel ok all the time and that’s ok. We don’t have to fake smile, or shop it away, or drink it away or even wish it away. We can feel our feelings instead of fixing them.
We can laugh, cry, scream in our pillows and carry on.
We can double down on self care, join a community of like hearted-people, seek therapy and honor our boundaries. What a privilege to have these options and more.
We can take care of each other by taking care of ourselves.
We will be ok again.
Ok … onto the favorites:

The research is clear, 100% of ICU Covid-19 patients are Vitamin D deficient. I take 4000 iu per day (per recommendation from my neurologist). I’m not a doctor but check with yours about supplementing and/or eat more of these Vitamin D rich foods.
Tis the season for scary stories. Check out this live (pay what you want) Ghost Story Event.
This would be such a fun (experienced-based) gift for pasta lovers.
I’m always surprised by the restorative power of unplugging one day a week.
A gentle yoga practice for vulnerability. Yup, probably going to make you cry.
I’ll be CBD’ing myself to sleep with these holiday drops (if you want to try them too, use code: beautifuldetour for 15% off).
We don’t get happier as our society gets richer, because we chase the wrong things.
These two filled my ears and my heart today.

This made me lol. I know how she feels.
