I hope you took a break last week to enjoy some nourishing food and company of folks you care about and want to spend time with. (Or, maybe you took a real break and didn’t gather, didn’t fuss with a big meal, and rebooted!) I figured no one needed another blog post/newsletter/whatever in their inbox, so I skipped last week. You’re welcome. ;)

And now, here we are, facing down the avalanche of sales pitches and flashy ads and compelling (let’s be honest!) discounts.

So, I’m re-visiting a list I made this time last year.
