Sunday Edition: Clearing Rituals, a Tip for Salad Greens, and "Swing Changes"

Spring, inspired.

The Sunday Edition is Tuesday’s little sister—off-the-cuff updates I’d bring up over a coffee catch-up with a friend.

Each time spring returns to Portland, I fall back in love with this city and it feels like everyone I know does, too. This week, I did little besides work and spend time with friends, gathering for hikes, poetry reading, coffee dates that lasted half the day, and sunset strolls that organically led to dinner at a favorite neighborhood spot. The constant activity was exhausting, but also invigorating, and I came away with so many recommendations from friends and bits of inspiration I’ve been looking forward to sharing here! Read on for:

  • A tip for perking up salad greens

  • The new nutrition course I’m starting

  • A clearing ritual I’m using between clients

  • Tons of photos from the week!
