"Gratitude is the wine for the soul. 🍷 Go on. Get drunk." ~Rumi
Earlier this week, we celebrated Thanksgiving - a time for being with family and practicing gratitude. 🦃
Here are some of the things that I'm especially grateful for right now:
Thankful to you for reading this newsletter every week and for supporting me through sharing and buying me coffees. ☕️
Thankful that I am feeling much better after being sick for almost a month and starting to get my energy back.
Thankful that I have the best community, tribe, squad - yes I'm talking about you. 🤩
Thankful that this year has taught me to keep my knees bent and stay open to things that may not always make sense at the time.
Thankful that as of right now, I've created a cool life. Not simply a full time job and a side hustle. But a mix of awesome part time roles with great companies and a business that I adore. Which I didn't even know was possible. #cobberlife 🙌🏾

🍪 Chessmen - one of my work colleagues gave me a little three pack of these cookies and the rest is history. Buttery goodness right here.
🌵Cactus - this app is designed to help you be a little more mindful in one minute. As someone who finds meditation really difficult, I really like this and they ask some great questions for you to reflect on every day.
