Good morning, dearest members! How are you doing this fine Sunday morning? I (Vella) hope you’re all feeling fresher than a daisy! If not, it’s okay not to be okay sometimes. But, of course, I hope our Sunday newsletter can offer a bit of a pick-me-up! And it’s not one without our quote of the week:

‘You don’t have to see the whole staircase; just take the first step.’

This is a simple reminder that we don’t need to have everything figured out. Even just a small step is a step closer to the finish line! And you know what? That’s the beauty of it all.
