Hi Friends!
This week has flown by faster than usual and there's an electricity in the air that can only mean one thing. This world is still a little crazy and there's still unprecedented things that need our attention AND let's make sure we're keeping our eyes open for the beautiful and sane parts of this world too. Here's what I've been paying attention to this week:

Speaking of unprecedented, Alex Honnald accomplished the greatest feat of rock climbing in history this week. His interview talks about taking it seriously, being prepared, trusting yourself, and staying calm. All around good advice for life, no?

Some more great life advice: Get enough sleep and be aware of what you put in your Mind Garden. (I know Mind Garden sounds bonkers weird, but I'm gonna embrace it here so go with it.) What can you water? What can you prune?

How to Throw an Alter-Ego Party: I am all in with this idea and am scheming names and outfits for myself already.

New (Old) fossils alter the history of our species: A nice reminder that nothing we know is set in stone (pun absolutely intended) and that we have to be flexible enough to change our views when faced with new information.

Eddie the Butterfly: "I believe maybe if I learn enough small things I can change a lot of big things."

The right way to be introspective: Ask yourself not Why? but What? and you'll stay more curious and open to the answers you find.

The 36 questions that lead to love: I've got some road trips in mind for the coming months and I'm seriously considering printing this list out and just taping it to my dashboard for my co-pilots to answer in between pit stops.

That's all for now, friends. What have you got planned for the summer? Any fun trips? Any big goals? Tell me all about them in the comments. Until next week: have fun, be safe, and love on each other.
