Every Friday I share the Winks of Goodness I experienced throughout the week in the hopes of inspiring you to do the same thing. I’ve found that writing down and formally acknowledging these suckers gives them more power. I encourage you to share your own Weekly Winks on my site (still figuring some technical stuff out on that if you have trouble) or social media. So look around and write it down — share the goodness.
Saturday — Margot and I went to the Yiasou Greek Festival in Charlotte. For a play-by-play of that adventure, read the Two Tickets to Paradise entry. Opa!
Sunday— Margot played with my hair all afternoon, trying all sorts of styles she found online, while I worked on a freelance story — best working conditions ever.
Monday — Walked with my soul sister, Regina, in the afternoon after turning in said freelance story. So lucky to have her in my life!
Tuesday— The Tots and I discovered an Eastern Box Turtle in our driveway before school. For those who don’t know, the Eastern Box Turtle is the official state reptile of North Carolina and was designated as such in 1979. In addition, these guys are beautiful. Margot named him Shelly.
Wednesday— My acupuncturist and I had an enlightening conversation about the significance of seeing a turtle. Upon further reflection, I realized three turtles have crossed my path in the past few weeks. Time to slow down.
Thursday — Mrs. Ann, one of my favorite teachers at my children’s school, helped The Tots get out of the van at morning drop-off. She was wearing a beautiful pink T-shirt that read “Be Kind.” She is such a kindred spirit. I just love her.
Friday— Found out that Jimmy Buffett is coming to Charlotte in April. He knows I need him.
Happy weekend!
