EDITION 13

It’s one of those weeks. Tuesday crept up, and in the midst of everything, I blinked and the hours vanished.

Even so, in the haze, there’s always a moment, right?

If we’re lucky, we can squeeze in more than one…

Like, catching early morning rays across the ocean on a windier-than-normal walk with the pooch, that first sip of coffee, or, Xavier Rudd’s ā€œFollow the Sunā€ on repeat, if we want to be uber specific.

Sometimes, it's as simple as the sun breaking through the clouds on a wintery morning or a song looping to bring you back to now. (YouTube link, if you need it today too.)

Our windier-than-normal walk

Maybe today isn’t a grand reset.

Maybe it’s the gentle nudge to notice a small good thing you almost missed—and whisper a thank you, just because you didn’t miss it.

Sometimes, it’s not about life lining up ā€œjust so,ā€ but about breathing through uncertainty, trusting that everything always unfolds for our greater good—late newsletter or not.

Every time.

MINI INVITATION

What small joy did you notice today—even if the day ran away from you?

Here’s to second (or third, or fourth) starts, winding roads, soft thanks, and the comfort of a fresh-air morning and a sun-filled song stuck on repeat.

Here’s wishing you find a little wonder too.

That's all for now.

Until next week!

Always light,

Shanna "noticing today" Lindinger
