The Weekly Whimsy - June 1st, 2026

A weekly newsletter where I share 3 small ways to add more whimsy to your day, 2 quotes worth saving, and 1 new thing I’m trying in 2026.

Welcome to The Weekly Whimsy!

Happy June! Ahhh there’s just nothin’ like a fresh start of a new month. I love to sit down with my journal at the beginning of a month and do a little ~life audit.~ What filled my cup last month? What emptied it? What’s one thing I want to do this month that I’ve done before? What’s one thing I want to do this month that I’ve never done before? Happy June and journaling to ya, friend!

3 whimsies for the week

1. Write your big worries in teeny tiny writing on a post-it.

   It feels good to get them outta your brain and onto paper, and (!) it helps to make your problems look really, really small for a sec.

2. Do a book swap with friends.

   Next time you get together with your friends, tell everyone to bring a book to trade. If you want to make a party of it, have everyone make a treat or sip related to the book they brought.

3. Visit a furry friend at the local animal shelter.

   Did you know most local animal shelters let you come and walk pups or hang out with cats? They’ve got a way of showing you how to stop and smell the roses (or fire hydrant… c’est la vie!)

2 quotes to tuck away*

*one kindaaaa long one

1. “I don’t think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious tree. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are all laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration.” - Osho

1 thing I’m trying

I’m trying a lacrosse league with some friends. I haven’t played since high school but it was such a huge part of my life and such a fun way to get exercise outside. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Wishing you a week full of the good stuff! <3
