Hi All,
After asking to talk about Succession, season 4, episode 3 in this newsletter last week, the most amazing thing happened. People reached out to me to talk about Succession, season 4, episode 3. I was reminded of how great it is to open up a conversation and then get to have that conversation with thoughtful friends. While walking with one such friend, I saw the gorgeous tree in the photo above and had to interrupt our conversation to take a picture. How Spring is this tree?! It is caught so beautifully in between. This week has been hot and cold. Wet and dry. Just like this tree. Part flowery and part leafy. I generally do not like these in between times so I knew I had to capture this picture to remind myself that there can be beauty in this middle.
So enough deep thoughts for a Friday morning :).
But before I get in to Reading. Listening. Watching, could I ask you all a favor? I am loving all things Substack right now and I want to spend more time writing here. All that said, I know myself enough to know that the more engagement I get with something, the more I do it. Sort of an ‘ugly’ truth but a truth none the less so… if you are willing and know someone who might enjoy this newsletter, would you share it with them? When it comes to thoughtful conversation, the more the merrier!
Thank you all for reading and sharing and now on to what I loved this week!
xo,
Stacey
