Good morning, members, and a big welcome to this fine Friday morning! Can you believe how fast this week has come and gone? It feels like just yesterday we were starting the week, and now the weekend is knocking on our door once again. I (Vella) hope your week was filled with plenty of laughter and joy. But if not, don’t worry! The weekend is around the corner, and it’s time to unwind and shake off any stress that may be lingering.
Speaking of stress, let’s have a little chat. We all have those moments when life throws us a curveball, and stress starts to creep in. I’m not going to lie; I get easily stressed by minor inconveniences, which is why I need your help, dear members. How do you cope with stress? Share your tips, tricks, and
stress-busting strategies on our forum right here.
Enough chit-chat, let’s dive into today’s newsletter, shall we? To kick things off, here’s our third and final riddle for the week.
