Intention to Thrive

hello & a love list!

Hi Friends,

I had a beautiful vacation, from which I am still radiating the warmth of sunshine, rest, friendship and the vibrant nature of Mexico.  You can see all of this in the drawing above and in the funny photo I am sharing below that my husband snapped on an empty beach we hiked to. 

How about a love list this week? 

1. Atoms - a new app from James Clear came out this week. As a coach who 100% believes that we make the change we want by taking tiny steps consistently I love that this app exists and I am having fun trying it out.

2. The above Maya Angelou quote is so exactly what I want for all people.
   How are you thriving right now? It’s a difficult time to be alive and more important than ever to advocate for your own thriving and the inherent right for all people to thrive.

3. I am participating in one of my favorite annual global art projects, the 100 day project. My project is called Making Faces and I’m exploring drawing a face a day. I’ve shared some of the faces in a post over on my instagram.

4. Home on Apple tv. My friend told me about this show and if you like seeing how people are imagining all kinds of unique living spaces, check out this show. It’s very inspiring.

5. This week I am listening to Brene Brown’s 3 commercial free podcast episodes speaking to peacemakers from and on the ground in Palestine & Israel. I am finding these conversations helpful and insightful.

6. Hello from substack! You’ll likely notice I’ve made the jump to substack this week. I’m excited for this new home for my art and words. The Friday love letter will always be free and I’ll be offering occasional longer writings, artwork and maybe even some live experiences to paying subscribers. Read more about this new iteration here.

That’s all for this week! 

If this letter has brought you joy, encouragement or self reflection, I’d be so grateful if you would consider passing it along to a friend or two who you think might also enjoy it.

With love & gratitude,

Anna Marie
