Weekend Wisdom: You don't have to explain yourself.
I wrote this last year and I feel exactly the same way today. When I look back on the summer of 2025, I want to remember my first bite of a tomato sandwich, the summer romance novel I was reading, the outdoor concert with my family and the early morning walks and coffee in the backyard. I want the calm moments to rise and the chaotic moments to fade. This doesn’t mean avoiding the tough stuff, in fact it’s how we build strength for it. The only way I can prioritize the small moments is not to get lost in the chaos, the annoyances, my complaints and overwhelm. And the only way I don’t get lost is by noticing how delicious those Black Beauty tomatoes taste with a little salt and olive oil, or laughing out loud when I’m reading. I just have to keep coming back to the moments I want to write themselves all over my heart. AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including: 7 decluttering rules to help you let go, the key to longevity and 17 simple ways to connect with your friends).

We can do what we want, live the way we want to live and do what ever it takes to take care of ourselves. Writing a permission slip for yourself will help you take action. It's a great reminder that you have agency over your life and that you don't need to seek permission or validation from someone else. 8 Permission Slips For Adults (that you didn't know you needed) xo, Courtney
