Songs To Stitch To, Sing To, Get You Through The Week
Set Aside Some Time This Week For Some Self-Care

III. Set up “me time” and stick to it! 30 minutes - 1 hour of dedicated y o u time.
Soulful Salutations
I. “Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.” — Max Ehrmann
II. “It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” — Paulo Coelho
III. “Release your majestic mind, embrace your untamed inner spirit. Break free from captivity, you were born to be free.” – Melanie Mulle
Uplifting Things Happening Around The World
I. The city of St. Louis is planning to build a tiny home village to shelter the homeless!
II. It’s possible that the US could have two vaccines authorized for emergency use as early as December! Both Moderna and Pfitzer have experimental vaccines that are both over 90% effective.
III. Love this story - when a restaurant had to close for a period due to potential COVID19 exposure, their neighboring barbershop stepped up. Barbershop employees kept things going at the restaurant so that the business wouldn’t lose too much money.

Book: Rupi Kaur's new Home Body released yesterday! I absolutely love her two previous works, Milk & Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers. They always seem to speak to me at different times in my life.
