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

There are times when Morning Person feels like my journal—especially when I use this space to explore the things I need to work on in my own life; the things I keep reflecting on long after I hit “publish.” This week, I kept coming back to the practice of recognizing when a moment was “probably the best part of my day.”

As I wrote here, the daily moments of recognition have helped me to sink deeper into my enjoyment, extending a walk, relishing in a perfect breakfast, savoring a conversation with a friend. This week, I snapped a photo each time until I realized I had an entire gallery of moments. As I compiled them, I felt inspired to try out a new format for this week’s Sunday Edition, highlighting the best moment(s) from each day this week. Read on for:

  • The “cleanse” I started this week, and what I love about it

  • Links to a perfect rose-colored long-sleeve and an online workout class for a gentle wake-up

  • A birds’ eye view of where I’m finding balance and gratitude in my life

  • Two satisfying and protein-rich breakfasts

  • My new favorite takeout spot in Portland

  • The coconut and sprouted cashew milk that makes coffee decadent
