Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Sunday Edition | AM

Good morning

Good morning, members! It’s that time again when we can take a deep breath and enjoy the calmness that the weekend brings. I (Vella) hope this newsletter finds you well and gives you the gentle boost you need today. So, grab your cuppa and let’s unpack this newsletter, starting with a quote to ponder upon:

‘When someone helps you and they're struggling too, that's not help. That's love.’

True love isn't just grand gestures or whispered sweet nothings. It's the hand reaching out when you need it most, even if it's a little shaky itself. So, take a moment today to appreciate those who love you unconditionally.
