Sunday Brunch: Tokens and Talismans

June 21, 2020
Dear friends,

2020 is proving to be all about keeping your head in the right place, and while some things are well fixed in our minds and won't soon be forgotten, for others a little reminder could go a long way. That's where tokens and talismans come in- a little something to keep the good vibes strong and keep you focused on the right things. I have a few myself and it is such a reassurance to glimpse those little reminders in tough times and take a moment to reflect and recenter.

If you could use a little reminder of your own, or know someone else that could, this week's edition is for you! Grab a muffin and a coffee, and let's dive on in!
