The Weekly Rundown 4.7.25
mercury turns direct, White Lotus finale, Kids' Mars Books recs, etc
Mercury turned direct today, and we’ve got all the makings for a beautiful week!
Intention ✨
With mercury turning direct, there’s no better time to seek clarity and go after what you really want. My intention this week is to turn inward and seek clarity through my intuition.
Priorities 📝
Did you take part in a “Hands-Off” protest this week? Keep that momentum up!
Meeting with my manager and career strategizing
Finding moments of joy in every day life. My goal: finding time to dance!
What are your top three priorities for the week?
Writing Goals ✍️
2 Substack Posts
Finishing my procedural pilot outline
Jumping back into my sci-fi feature rewrite
Continuing to outline and brainstorm for my historical novel and dramedy feature
Reading 📖
Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower”
My son has a research project for Mars, so I’m starting to gather first-grade-friendly books. If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way!
Watching 📺
The White Lotus finale was last night— and no spoilers, but I was personally underwhelmed. I think Carrie Coon’s monologue is going to stay with me for awhile, though. Beautiful writing. Beautiful acting.
I checked out “Better Man” because I had a giant crush on Robbie Williams around ‘99 and I’m a sucker for British musicals. It was enjoyable, but it made me wish I was watching Rocketman instead.
The Pitt’s first season finale airs this week and I’m not emotionally prepared. The good news is they are already shooting season 2 (!!) and we’ll have our beloved doctors back on our TV sets by the end of this year. If only more shows were doing this (hint, hint… Hollywood)
Enjoying 🤩
Self-care days
The warmer weather… I even got to read by the pool this weekend!
Spring Blooms
Final Thoughts 💭
If you live with integrity, what other people think doesn’t really matter
Have a lovely week, everyone. Be kind, but take no sh*t.
