Hello, friends. Happy weekend!

In Sydney, we have a beautiful soft rain, and my plan today is to rest a while.

I’m thinking of all of you — the women who make things happen. You’re heartbeat of a home, you’re the ones who will make sure friends are loved, people are listened to, and there’s coffee or tea ready to be made for anyone who might drop by.

You put the flowers on the table.

You find a way to offer love.

You’re already thinking about Christmas.

So today, for you, I have this reminder: take a moment to rest. Rest and trust that everything will get done a little faster if you stop and find some peace.

Sending you so much love from my rainy home to yours.

P.S. The fun stuff!

• This feta and spinach tart! Wow.

• This is the Shakespeare you won’t forget: Sonnet 29.

• The perfect Skims dupes. The whole range is great.

• I’m trying to bake this today — it’s supposed to be easy!
