That was brutal. Somehow my newsletter was riddled with tech issues and sending it to that four letter β€˜s’ word that I dare not write.

In any case…let’s try this one more time before I decide to re-platform. And I’m deeply hoping that sending this on my birthday will allow for good things to happen / energy to be on my side.

IN THIS NEWSLETTER:

  • 🎈Birthday Reflections

  • πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈA lesson in always asking

  • 😹 It’s okay to have fun - you actually grow faster

BDAY THINGS:

Lucky for me, I get to add another +1 to my life! It’s hard not to hit a new year and feel like you’re comparing to the last one, but I’m enjoying the most wise and well versed version of me yet.

The big thing with this milestone is shifting away from just receiving, to being able to be generous. That’s the thing that resources can do - whether it’s your time, energy, and/or money.

Also if you want a funny life hack, ask Claude Cowork to look up all of the fun birthday perks in your area and have it drop it into a checklist in your Notion. I linked the ones that sounded worth it.You’re welcome πŸ˜‡

ALWAYS ASK.

I recently had to replace my beloved Logitech keyboard and saw this one was on sale. It’s such a handy portable device that pairs lightening fast and has a protective cover and is easy to keep clean + in tact. Unlike the last one where the caps lock popped off and never went home.

The wild thing about tech is that the support is expected to be phenomenal. I’m on my fourth Oura ring (granted, so many malfunctioned). Before you throw out technology on its last legs, jump on the chat on their website and see if they can toss you a coupon - I received an additional 20% off this new one after a few easy steps.

YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO β€˜FUN’ πŸ•ΊπŸ»

Whatever it looks like for you in August, I hope you enjoy it. Jump rope, have a gummy worm, talk a little trash with a friend. You never ever know where it might go. For me? It ended up somewhere pretty productive… I’ll tell you all about it next time.
