Weekend Wisdom: Create more ease by putting your hands on your heart before you put them on your phone each morning.
I'm writing this in a jam-packed coffee shop on a chilly morning. In between words, I'm sipping my drink (cortado with a splash of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon), watching the trees bursting with color, leaves falling to the ground and thinking about my post-work walk in the sunshine. I've been slowing my life down for many years for this. Now I get to enjoy moments like this, the soft, slow, gentle ones. I don't need to escape my work, drown my sorrows (even though they still show up), or go overboard to prove my worth or explain my choices. I want to be sure to notice that it's happening. If you work towards something and forget to notice and celebrate, you'll just keep on striving for something else. I'm going to stay here for a while. AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including: 27 ways to take care of yourself through the holiday season, what you might need for better finances and 11 new fall movies). I'm so grateful when you share my work! If you think this would brighten or lighten a friend's weekend, please forward this email or share the Weekend Favorites with this link. xo, Courtney |

Weekend Wisdom: You don't owe anyone your all. Save some for you. After a short trip, I'm thinking a lot about the energy and attention our stuff requires. My stuff is pretty pared down and yet, it still feels like a little too much sometimes. When I'm packing it and unpacking it and then making it work in a small hotel room, repacking it and then unpacking again, I just think, "do I really need all this stuff?" I'm going to hold onto that feeling moving into the holiday season when...
