Morning Person is a weekly newsletter packed with obsessively-curated recommendations and ideas—let’s get to it!
Last week, Jonah and I traveled to Vancouver Island to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Emboldened by our relatively lax plans, I packed more books than blouses with every intent of cruising through my to-read list… then made it through approximately fifty pages, total.
Despite my interest in the book, every time I cracked it open, I would barely make it a paragraph before the view from our patio recaptured my attention. I spent most mornings watching waves break against the jagged rocks below our room while my book rested optimistically open in my lap. Occasionally, I was rewarded by the sight of a pair of Harbor Porpoises or a surfer dropping into a wave but after a week of back-to-back deadlines and assignments, it felt amazing to just let my mind wander.
