May 2020 Newsletter

Resilience, Gardening and learning to Tie Dye

Hey there and Happy May!

I feel incredibly grateful to be in your inboxes today. It's a strange time for sure and it's not lost on me that your attention could be anywhere these days, but I am glad you're here. As I was thinking about putting this e-mail together one thing was on my mind: Resilience. And what it looks like to accept a "new normal" for the time being. I hope you are finding the patterns that bring you peace and connection. I have good days and bad ones. Something I have been incorporating is more reading which keeps me grounded. If you're interested in picking up a new book, I put together a list of my favorite books for self reflection here. I'm learning that resilience is like a muscle and we can handle far more than we want to believe. We can help each other become more resilient by cheering on small wins, checking in and opening up. I hope the contents of this months newsletter help you do just that.With Gratitude,Leanne

If you're anything like me, I am much more aware of all the purchases I make these days. Trying to strike a balance between being more frugal but still creating an environment of joy around me. Buying local has never been more important than ever and many local local shops have pivoted to online retail and I'm thankful! If you are looking for something to treat yourself or someone you love (like a mother's day gift!) consider some of these

I'm sure you've seen a lot of gardening and bread baking on social media  lately (

) and I think it's pretty cool how many of us have collectively have turned to these hobbies with a sense of more patience and expectance. I am also grateful that there are some incredibly knowledgeable Community members who have been sharing resources for us novices. I have been LOVING watching
