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

Sunday Edition | AM

Good morning

Hello there, lovely members! It's a pleasure to be with you this Sunday morning. Whether you’re up with the larks or still under the covers, I (Athena) am here to sprinkle a bit of sunshine into your inbox. They say what you fancy does you good, and I agree—so why not treat yourself to something nice today? Starting with our quote of the week from Emily St. John Mandel:

‘If there’s pleasure in action, there’s peace in stillness.’

I came across this quote in her book, Sea of Tranquility, last year and it has since lingered in my mind. Isn’t it too easy to get caught up in life? Amidst the chaos, we often overlook the importance of pausing, taking a deep breath, and collecting our thoughts. Take this as a reminder to cherish those peace and quiet!
