5 Quick Things #195 đ
tech-wisdom, feel the feels, summery teas, & TRAVEL yes please
Hello!
How has your week been? The weather has officially morphed from spring to summer humidity around here, and Iâm already having to strategize my outdoor time so that I donât wither away. In a little over a month, weâll migrate north to visit family and cool off our brains, so until then I suppose weâll do what we always do: hunker down in the water.
In other news, my youngest turns 11 today, and that just doesnât feel humanly possible. I adore watching my kids grow into who theyâre made to be, but it truly feels like I should still be in the little kid stage, and apparently, I was just conveyor-belted along without my awareness.
Iâm hunkering down for many loud voices and many hyper bodies later this afternoon, so wish me wellâŚ

5 Quick Things âď¸
1. đ New episode of A Drink With a Friend! đ Whatâs the difference between a vacation and a pilgrimage? A roadtrip to see extended family and stepping somewhere sacred? So much of it has to do with our own mindset about what weâre doing in the first place. Seth & I unpack what it means to travel sacramentally, even on ordinary trips.
2. Even though itâs Finnâs birthday, Iâm going to do my best to tune into this presentation today (probably as Iâm baking cupcakes). I really loved his book and I love this topic! Itâs so important.
3. âThe Exterior Life doesnât want you to feel sad. Ever. It recoils at the prospect. It wants there to be nothing but pleasure. But this is unnatural. To be fully human is to endure the full range of emotions in response to the broad continuum of lifeâs experiences.â A good reminder for every one of us.
4. Ooh, I think I may need to learn more about this.
5. And finallyâŚÂ earlier this week I shared three Hamletsâ to-be speeches to Commonplace subscribers. I canât stop thinking about it, so hereâs three âget thee to a nunneryâ moments. Man, that Andrew Scott.
