🏠 Why You Need a Micro Space(s)
THIS ON THURSDAY 02.05.26 | #39 Hi Reader, I've been thinking about the list of things I've been wanting to do . . . but somehow don't do. Take meditation 🧘🏼♂️, for example. Oh, I've done it. Lots of times. But the number of days in a row I've done it is pretty low. So why is this? Here's my thought: I have tried meditating at my desk, in my reading chair, in bed. But what I really need is a space dedicated to meditation. That way, I will set the intention to meditate, go to my spot, and do...
😫 How to Hope in the Midst of Chaos
01.29.26 | THIS ON THURSDAY | #38 Hi Reader, If you've ever waterskied, you may remember the feeling of being pulled underwater, at high speed, before getting upright. It's exhausting. That's kind of how I'm feeling now. And I know I'm not alone. There's just a lot going on. Frigid cold, the ❄️ storm that swept through over the weekend, so many still without power, jobless friends, what’s happening here in Minneapolis, the broader political climate. Oh, and the constant low-grade worry...
✈️ The Surprising Benefit of Flying Solo
01.22.26 | THIS ON THURSDAY | #37 Hello friends, I’ve been thinking about something small, and yet not really that small. Let me explain . . . Every time I fly ✈️ alone (not on a big adventure, not necessarily on a “solo travel” trip, just a regular flight), I end up talking to someone. Not exchanging pleasantries. Actually talking. Often it’s another woman 👩 around my age. We sit next to each other at the gate or end up side-by-side on the plane. One of us will say something ordinary. Maybe...
✨ Surefire Ways to Get Your Spark Back✨✨
ABOUT RECIPES TRAVEL ONE THING 01.15.26 | THIS ON THURSDAY | #36 Hi Reader, You're probably getting the message. I think ✨Spark✨ is what it's all about. It can be a feeling, a certain quality, a way we approach things. It's what makes us feel engaged. It's what makes others want to do it with us. It's what drives us forward, on whatever path we're on. And, if it's so important, why is it so hard to hold onto, and so difficult to regain? The state of the world, the weather, our health, even...
👌 🌱 You've Got This . . .
ABOUT RECIPES TRAVEL ONE THING 01.08.26 | THIS ON THURSDAY | #35 Happy January, The start a new year makes anything feel possible ✨. Or, we think it should. But if you're feeling a bit tenuous in this first full week of 2026 . . . you're not alone. All the possibilities, all the newness can be a bit hard to grasp. We begin from a place of newness, and we're already feeling behind. If you've been following our most recent posts, you know I advocate for 🌿 Renewal, Not Resolutions. Resolutions...
What Renewal 🌱 Looks Like in Real Life
ABOUT RECIPES TRAVEL ONE THING 01.01.26 | THIS ON THURSDAY | #34 Hi friend, First off, you're not imagining things if you've resisted New Year’s resolutions, but set them anyway. You know, the big promises and dramatic changes that are going to change your body, mind, and spirit. Here's the thing: Regardless of every January heralding a new year, most of us don’t need a harder push in January. It's cold, maybe snowy, and we're just a bit worn out from November and December. That’s why I’ve...
