Crying in Walgreens, Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs, & Your Insta-Worthy Bio

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” — Desmond Tutu

Listen to the behind the scenes of me reading + live editing this newsletter.

Who are you being kind to today? I was kind to the woman working at Walgreens (pharmacy) the other day, while I was picking out makeup for a branding photoshoot in New York City. She helped me find what I needed and I was so grateful!

While I was checking out, the woman who helped me with the makeup went behind the counter, and handed me goodie bag filled with makeup and self care items and said, “Happy Valentine’s Day!

I was shocked and I cried right there in the drug store. It was so unexpected, thoughtful, and a New York City moment. There is light out there, we have be it, and remember to look for it.

Reminder: It costs you nothing to be kind. Perhaps, it’s hearting a post here on Substack. Sending a text message to someone you love or even better pick up the phone! And, maybe, it’s being kind to yourself?

Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

I went to Trader Joe’s this morning. They had a note that it was one dozen of eggs limit, per customer, due to the egg shortage. Yesterday, the only eggs at Whole Foods were $12.99 a dozen. If you have eggs cooking them with intention is key! Here is how to boil them perfectly. Pro Tip: I no longer boil a full dozen of eggs. I cook six eggs at a time so they stay fresher. I chat with my friend

We talked about the behind the scenes of creating her IN to Your INTUITION Summit which ends tomorrow 2/17. Listen to the podcast for ideas on how you can step into your big ideas. Follow your intuition

Rereading: A Course in Miracles

I am on day 50 of 365 of the daily lessons from A Course in Miracles. Not familiar with the course? It's a spiritual text that uses Christian language that you guessed it, focuses on miracles! Committing to the daily lessons from ACIM changed my life in 2020. Despite all the pain, hurt and suffering in the world, I stayed grounded and continued to see the light. In December of 2024, it felt like the perfect time to start again! Leave a comment below, if you would like to join ACIM book club with me?

Wishing you ease this week,
