Weekend Wisdom: Rest before pushing through. Give yourself a break. You are doing so much better than you think.
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to try playing tennis again. It's been more than 15 years since I played. I was nervous and I'm so glad I did it anyway. I am having a blast! Other little joys in my life lately: fresh flowers, reading outside, working on a new project (more soon-ish), strawberry-arugula salad, morning coffee (of course) and getting in bed before 9pm.

AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including:8 ways to simplify your to-do list, something adorable and the 10 best TV shows of 2025). I hope you enjoy these Weekend Favorites and have a weekend full of little joys, deep breaths and good sleep.

Hello Reader, We've all been impacted by the effects of stress and excess. Some of us notice and make immediate changes and for others (like me), we let it go on for too long thinking "it is what it is" until our bodies say, "enough is enough." Someone with multiple sclerosis once asked me, “How can I be healthier with MS?” After writing back with some suggestions, I realized you don’t need MS to benefit from these recommendations.
