🧩Lil Treasures #175: Puzzles and Pedro Pascal

We're also talking french toast and Wendell Berry

Happy Friday! 👋

How are you doing? Are we making it today?

Some thoughts for your Friday: I have been working creative jobs for a long time now, and I have only recently been set free by the idea that more content does not equal better work. This week I was super inspired by these 30 rules to becoming a better artist as well as this tweet below:

My promise to you is to always try to share the things that are meaningful, but also helpful. That’s my biggest desire for this community and I hope when you open your email each Friday, you benefit from the things shared in this newsletter (even the bizarro tweets and constant Half Baked Harvest recipes).

Okay, let’s get to the treasures!

🧩Puzzles have become extremely therapeutic for me this year and I especially love completing ones that are pretty. The Puzzle Weekend brand has not let me down so far and I keep buying them so much that they sent me a referral code! If you click on this link you can get $5 off your order. Happy puzzling!

🚶‍♀️Spring is here, which makes me feel the need to put on tennis shoes? Not just any shoes, I need them to be laced! They’ve got to be sturdy and ready to walk with a purpose! If you’re feeling similarly and are itching for that Vitamin D here’s yet another reason to go outside and take a Stupid Walk™️.

🌟As announced earlier this week, all of my past studies have been given a glow-up and are now available on my online store! Did you love the Mercy Seat study of the Psalms but want to use the content in July instead? Well NOW YOU CAN. We have revamped these beauties, removing the Lent/Advent language and making them applicable for all times of the year. Make sure to use the code LTP15 for 15% off when you order!

🌾As a long-time Wendell Berry fan, this interview with he and Bill Moyers on hopes for humanity that Diana Butler Bass shared this week is so lovely. It’s from 9 years ago but totally applicable to today (even if you often feel hopeless about our current cultural atmosphere).

🛌I loved this post with things to say to your kids at bedtime to help build a stronger connection.

🍅This thread of Pedro Pascal as characters from Veggie Tales is A+ work.

⛪Always love the beautiful words that Andy Squyres spins out of his brain and this post on church is a new favorite.

Still bringing you the good Tweets 💛

I’m so happy that you took the time to read and (hopefully) share your own treasures with us. Farewell for now! See you here again next week!
