Thank you for reading Lifequakes, a newsletter about life transitions. If this is your first time around here, take a look at the About page for some background on why I started writing this, read my very first post that explains the concepts of LIFEQUAKES and life transitions and check out the archive. Once a week, I write Sunday Funday - a lighter note on things that I like and bring me joy. If you enjoyed this article, please subscribe or share with a friend.
