In this week’s issue.

Creative renewal, making at your pace, baking delights, cozy cardigans, great book recs, and heartfelt insights.

Ways to be generous, crafting as medicine, cheeky knits, incredible botanic gardens, and quirky surreal art.

Rural discoveries, hidden (free) media treasures + a thoughtful deep dive for the curios, and a fun way to pass the time.

Elizabeth Gilbert
takes
Sari Botton
’s Oldster Questionnaire. A heartfelt, interesting interview brimming with Elizabeth’s usual insight and warmth.

I appreciated this quote:

“I love that I have gathered so much expertise about how to do my job (writing books) that nothing about it really scares me anymore. I feel completely relaxed in my own mastery as a creator, which I earned through a lot of hard work and focus. I can own that — and I love owning it.”
