The Weekender // 022

Vest and long sleeve weather! Weekend inspiration! A book that destabilized me to my core!

Welcome to THE WEEKENDER, your weekly dispatch full of ~Saturday spirit~! I fill you in briefly on the week, share a few Little Luxuries that make the mundane feel special and save the best for last with some Brain Food to mull over, expand your horizons, or discuss with your friends over a cappuccino. There are usually lots of links and pictures which perhaps will get clipped if you’re reading in your inbox— click here to read in browser!

Happy Saturday! We have a high of 60 degrees today, which is the best it’s been since I moved to the beach almost 6 months ago. I plan to spend every possible second I can outside doing physical activities.

First Rodeo is a twice-weekly-ish newsletter about books, work, healing, and the art of getting back up when life knocks you on your ass. 💫 Sometimes it’s reflective, sometimes silly, but always honest.
