Sacred Sundays

Sacred Sundays Issue #48 The Art of the Side Quest Welcome back, friends. My house smells like cinnamon and vanilla this morning. There's a fresh batch of homemade granola baking in the oven, my tea is beside me, and I'm settled into my favorite Saturday morning ritual: writing to you. Later tonight, things will be considerably less peaceful. I'm meeting friends for an early-bird 80s alternative dance party at one of our favorite beer gardens, where we fully intend to rage against the...

Sacred Sundays Issue #47 The Swerve Welcome back, friends. It’s been three weeks since we’ve convened here together on a Sunday morning. I’ve missed you. I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer. My last few weeks have been full—time with family, a wonderful trip to New York City, and a return to a work life that suddenly looks very different from the one I left behind. New routines. New clients. New teammates. New management. New technologies. New systems. For this middle-aged Taurus, change...

Sacred Sundays Issue #46 In Search of Wonder Welcome back, friends. Today's note is a little different. Over the past year, Sacred Sundays has become one of the most meaningful parts of my week. Every Sunday morning we've shared stories, memorable meals, books, art, and the quiet moments that remind us to slow down and pay attention. Somewhere along the way, this little newsletter became more than a creative project. It became a weekly ritual—a place to make sense of life's joys, its...

Sacred Sundays Issue #45 What We Mistake for Permanent Welcome back, friends. I've rewritten this letter several times this morning, and every version sounded too polished. Too certain. Too much like I had already figured out what this week was supposed to teach me. The truth is that I haven't. This has been one of the most difficult weeks of my professional life, and I'm still trying to make sense of it all. So instead of pretending I have a beautifully wrapped lesson to share, I thought I'd...

Sacred Sundays Issue #44 The Things Closest to Home This weekend, America celebrates its 250th birthday. 🇺🇸 Milestone anniversaries often encourage us to think in sweeping terms—history books, founding documents, and moments that changed the course of a nation. Those stories matter. But this weekend, I'm finding myself grateful for the things closest to home. I'm grateful for a few extra days to spend with the people I love. For burgers on the grill, fresh summer tomatoes, watermelon sliced...

Sacred Sundays Issue #43 Life Still Has a Few Wonderful Tricks Up Its Sleeve Welcome back, friends. One of the things I love most about life is that, just when I think I've settled into a comfortable rhythm, it still manages to surprise me. Not with the big, life-altering moments that we tend to remember for years, but with the quieter ones. The unexpected joys that seem to appear out of nowhere, giving you a little jolt and reminding you that life still has a few wonderful tricks up its...

Sacred Sundays #42 Summer Does Not Require Suffering Welcome back, friends. If summer officially begins today, someone forgot to tell Florida. We've been living in summer for weeks already. The kind of summer where you open the front door at eight o'clock in the morning and are greeted by air so thick you could practically spread it on toast. The kind of summer where the dogs seek out the smallest patch of shade, the chickens slow their pace, and even my basil seems to be questioning its life...
