The Weekly Roundup - July 7

Is it illegal to post a weekly roundup on a Monday? Eh, my page my rules and all that.

Journaling Prompt

What do you want to leave in last week and what do you want to bring into this week?

Product

Personalized stationary. I love to write to my friends and family but having personalized stationary makes the whole ordeal more exciting. I typically ask for it for my birthday or Christmas because it typically isn’t cheap, but you can always just look for postcards at the thrift store as another personalized alternative.

Experience

Being in a book club. I really love being in a book club because it combines community and reading. My current book club is with a few friends I see regularly and a few I only see at book club meetings which keeps the conversation fresh. I also appreciate that we have our books picked out months in advance - we just submit a book title and we add it to the back of the stack. It helps us to avoid back and forth and feelings hurt. Currently we’re reading Catalina by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio.

Media

I’ve really been loving posting polls on my personal Instagram page. I get more engagement on those posts from random acquaintances I haven’t seen in eons and that always brings me delight.

Here are a few random hits:

• Seafood tacos or Tex Mex tacos?

• Do you see in 3D/full color, B/W 2D, Outline, or “just vibes” in your head?

• Dean, Jess, or Logan?

I’ve started my cemetery journey - check out a few posts here about them.
