It's the Monday Update!

I suppose I could've titled this one "Rainy Days & Mondays" given the weekend we had, but that felt like a stretch.

I'm trying a different piece of software this week to send the weekly update. I guess raise your hand if you don't get it? If you do, let me know what you think. Do you notice a difference? Do you like this one versus the one I have been using?

Lot's of news this week, so let's do hot takes...

This week, treat yourself to a moment of “elf-care”—whether that’s a solo dance party, a bubble bath, or booking a session to remind yourself you’re a gift to the world. (Unwrap your awesomeness. Batteries not included.)
