Sunday Morning Coffee // No. 120

As I finish this post, it’s pouring rain outside and I’m on the couch with a steaming mug of coffee and a podcast playing in the background. Needless to say, it’s a great day.

What was the highlight of your week? I feel like every week, especially when it’s time to share this post, I mention how tired, busy or stressful the past week had been. But the highlights really help to put into perspective just how positively full some weeks, even when they don’t go as planned can be.

So, some notable highlights:

• I took photos for my best friends, who are celebrating their one year wedding anniversary today! I can’t wait to share some of those photos with you here and on Instagram.
• On top of that, we surprised one member of that couple, Izzy, with a surprise birthday party yesterday! He’s one of the best men I know and deserves all of the joy and success to come in his 27th year. Truly a blessing to be his friend.
• I FINALLY got over a writing hurdle and was able to get clarity on a project I’ve been dreaming about in the margins of my notebooks for months.
• Created some really cool content at work on the Visit Philly Instagram stories.
• I think I may be currently reading one of my new favorite books? Always a great feeling.
