Good morning friend. Some weeks feel like falling down a flight of stairs, yet landing on your feet. As always, I try to make space for creativity, peace, and joy—only to find myself clenching my teeth in line at the grocery store. But I’ll take small victories where I can get them. I win procrastinator of the week for installing a brand new smart thermostat in my condo when I should have been writing this missive. I've never done electrical work before, but nothing makes me want to flip a breaker switch like an impending deadline.
A BOOK
The Creative Act by Rick Rubin

A LAUGH

A FORMULA

YOUR ASSIGNMENT
What didn’t work for you this week? Be it a personal shortcoming, interpersonal dispute, or stroke of bad luck, something—big or small—likely went awry this week. Give yourself one page to write out your feelings. Vent, strategize, apologize—do whatever it takes to put this nagging thing to bed and move forward.
