Happy Friday 1/15/21

Happy Friday! How was your week? We made some good progress at the Poplar Cottage this week (I can’t wait to share more next week!) and enjoyed the heck out of a little sunshine that made its way to eastern Washington. Oh! and Garrett and I and I got into Ted Lasso (on appleTV), which is just the right mix of light-hearted and funny for this anxiety-filled new year - highly recommend!

More from the week…

Find the place you love. Then move there. I love Arthur C. Brook’s series in The Atlantic called ‘how to build a life’. His newest article feels timely with the pandemic changing how we work and the reasons we live places. “If where you live isn’t truly your home, and you have the resources to make a change, it could do wonders for your happiness.“ (Atlantic)
