We have a soft spot for vintage travel posters, especially those near an iconic little airport. How about you?

This right here is some inspirational thinking by Melissa Kirsch in the newsletter this morning. My body woke up to the sunshine thinking just what she wrote (though not as eloquently) — serendipity?

“This year, I propose July 2 for a sunnier moment at which to take stock of the year so far and, if it feels right, to make some achievable resolutions for the second half of the year. The sun is out. We’re in summer mode, a little less coiled up than we might have been in January. Our resolutions might be more self-compassionate, more optimistic than they were in winter. Think of it as a resolution reset. When Dec. 31 arrives, how do you want your life to be a little different? Perhaps there’s something you resolved on Jan. 1 that you’ve fallen behind on and you want to reframe it for the back half of the year. Maybe there’s something you’ve been meaning to do and six months is the perfect window in which to achieve it.

I’m skeptical of New Year’s resolutions as they’re usually executed: Here’s a way in which you’re falling short. No more horsing around, now it’s time to straighten up and fly right. The Summer Reset (if I capitalize it, it feels more official) is a different practice. These pronouncements should be summer-tinged, with an emphasis on possibility over punishment. A friend recently told me she’d resolved to ask “Does this make my life bigger?” before she made any decision. I might try this one. You might resolve to spend more time with people around whom you feel like the best version of yourself. Let the resolutions be additive, celebratory, exciting. Make them about increasing joy, about being new and radiant and more enthusiastic about the things and people you love. Happy New Half of the Year. Let’s make it the best half yet.”

Buoys last for years and years. Who is yours? (Then, say thank you.) 🛟

The smell of flowers in the air.

Looking forward to presenting at with by friend and client next month. Bonus points for location — Palm Springs, CA. Who else is going?

My friend and client Anna really understands beauty from the inside and out. She styles my hair yes (and the cuts are a gift that keeps on giving 🙏🏼), but most importantly she guides my wellness, supported holistically with food. She’s smart and funny, and *also* beautiful on the inside and out. If you’re looking for integrative wellness guidance with a local and seasonal flair, she’s your gal. And if you’re a woman who values community and deep connection, we’re having a Bring Your Soul to Work day on Tuesday 28th of Jan at with where I’ll be talking about what we can learn from experience working in a corporate environment (whether we’ve already left or are preparing to fly the corp) and will be honoring us with one of her incredible lunches. I just can’t recommend these people enough.

Until next time, California. 💛

Definitely feeling gratitude for the bluffs and the beach on this current west coast foray. A change in perspective is so valuable to creative work.

Sorry Chicago I can’t help myself, particularly when I’m in the same time zone, same state, same county…

I’m having the best time rearranging some of the services I offer under my big scalloped umbrella. Stay tuned for more and in the meantime, please do schedule a free a consult via wearesmitten.co so I can create a bespoke package for you.⛱️

Feeling homesick for CA as I watch it burn and quake from afar. I asked how I could help during the extreme heat wave (even at the beach with ocean breeze) and she said “reverse global warming”. It’s not fair to our kids what we’ve done to the planet. I’m trying to remember in every choice how I can do better for the planet and the people.
