Happy Sunday, my friends (and all the new friends this week!) I’m Catherine, up early in the rain writing to you while my family sleeps in. I’ve lit the candles and made hot coffee. So far, the day has been beautiful, and this week should be fun. I’m celebrating 25 years of marriage to this guy on Tuesday. A bit about my family: we have an 18 year old sitting his final exams for high school next week (gahh!) and heading to uni in February, and a 22 year old finishing up his Law-Commerce double degree. We live in Sydney, and the photo above was taken at my favourite beach in the world, Hyams Beach in New South Wales.
Here’s what I want to share this weekend—for you, if you’ve ever had someone roll their eyes and call you a “bit much.”
We need you to be as much of yourself as you want to be.
Your contribution to the world—your brand of JOY—is why you’re here. I love these words from Lindsay Rush:
Aren’t we so lucky to have YOU?
Yes. Yes, we are.
Enjoy your Sunday. I hope you have a brilliant one.
Love, Catherine x
PS. The fun stuff!
Lovely reviews of The 10 Minute Fix - this little book makes a beautiful gift for a girlfriend. I’ve had messages from women that they keep it in their car, on their bedside table, and gift copies to friends. Find it here! In Australia, on sale for such a great price right now. Thank you for supporting authors…
Okay, hello pink cowboy boots for my anniversary present. (I know. They’re A BIT MUCH. And so am I…)
Perfect song for a peaceful morning: Threnody by Goldmund.
This apple salad with feta, crispy prosciutto and candied pecans looks amazing.
