5 things for the weekend 25.15
diy chargers, author conversation, chicken piccata pasta, free art workshop, just do it already
This past week I’ve been leaning more into being bold, my word for the year, in a few different ways. I’ve been dressing more boldly, and being bolder about sharing my unapologetic opinions on things. I’m thinking it might be related to all the boldness I’m seeing around me as the earth truly emerges from winter with the extended sunshine we’ve had lately.
How have you been living your word lately?
5 Things
1. Elevate your Easter gathering, or any occasion with these DIY leather chargers. There are a couple other ideas in the post, so scroll down to find the DIY.
2. If you read our last book club book, I Will Greet the Sun Again, you might enjoy this conversation the author had with Caleb Azumah Nelson (whose book Open Water I highly recommend).
3.What’s better than chicken piccata? How about Chicken Piccata Pasta?
4. Tamara LaPorte of Willowing just announced a new free mixed media workshop! I signed up with the quickness, because she always brings amazing artists together for these.
5. Joshua Rothman on why we just can’t seem to deal with those important tasks already.
