My inbox is overflowing! Through reader leads, newsletter affiliates & professional referrals, I find myself subscribing to more & more & MORE … including my fellow reader-writers here on Substack. When you step into awareness, you see connections everywhere. I feel blessed to have an abundance of resources!

Paring these down to give you the greatest goodies of the week can become even more challenging. BUT I’m learning to push through & pick more easily (like pulling a card of the day or picking a page in a fave book for an inspiring message).

BECAUSE ALL THESE RESOURCES ARE STELLAR, we can’t really go wrong here! Enjoy these fun finds for feeling more at ease in your body, mind & soul … & don’t forget to share them with others.

30% off = low prices on lowered anxiety

Big Life Journal has a lot more than strictly journal resources. Homeschool & classroom lessons on SEL (that’s social-emotional learning) + posters, pamphlets & the needed toys & tools for calm-down corners = all the help you need for managing emotions in your home or classroom. THIS SALE ENDS TOMORROW! Don't miss it!

STEM & sign language …

From simple science experiments to songs you can sing & sign to literal walks in the park (with purpose!), Signing Time is sharing “Easy STEM Learning” ideas for preschoolers in this linked article. Keep the summer learning going with this outdoor fun!

However, every week, I’m finding myself starring more & more of the content I subscribe to, so that I can share it with you in some way. Today, I’m linking teasers to two dad-blog newsletters I love …

Belt Out Your Blues: Why Songwriting Rocks for Your Mental Health
Life can be a tangled mess of emotions, and sometimes words just seem to evaporate when we need them most. That's where the magic of songwriting steps in. It's more than just crafting catchy tunes for the radio (though, hey, who knows, maybe your next masterpiece is lurking within!). Songwriting is your own personal therapy session, disguised as a killer track…

The New Fatherhood
Descending into the Well of Feelings
When times are hard, I reach for my dog-eared copy of Pema Chödrön’s When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times. This book continues to provide support during times of turmoil, those days and weeks when the waves feel like they’re crashing uncontrollably upon the boat. This week’s newsletter is a light update to a 2021 essay about the book…
