Pals, hello! Welcome to a different wonderful Sunday. We’re lucky, certainly.

This week, I’m thrilled handy the mic to a brand new voice in our Sunday lineup, although chances are high, you already know her. This week’s put up is written by my buddy, the extremely proficient photographer behind the weblog, and my favourite Aquarius: Karlee Sisler Flores.

Karlee is among the funniest, most grounded, wildly inventive folks I do know. Her eye for magnificence is unmatched, and the truth that she’s so low-key about it ought to actually be unlawful. She has a approach of seeing issues clearly, feeling deeply, and making you chuckle whilst you’re finding out the mess of all of it. I treasure our 15-minute voice notes about—properly—every little thing: work, love, grief, gardening, God, petty beefs, huge goals. All of it.

I hope you’ll give her a heat welcome to our little Sunday assembly right here. And when you’d wish to get to know her higher (you do), discover her on IG, learn her essay on marriage recommendation,  comply with her Substack, or take a pilgrimage to her FloSo Soiled Soda truck in Salem, Oregon.

Let’s get into it.

xo,
Pleasure

Just a few occasions, I’ve popped into visitor posts to yell at you concerning the sanctity of a summer season tomato sandwich or how good low cost ramen could be. However there’s one thing totally different a few Sunday put up.

It says, “Have a look at the place my thoughts wanders and the locations my thumb scrolls.” It’s a candid glimpse into what I discover attention-grabbing and, hopefully, you’ll too. I’ve beloved this format because it was known as Let it Be Sunday—sneaking curated peeks into how Pleasure sees her world.

What a present it’s, I feel, to be let into another person’s perspective—particularly when it’s totally different from our personal. You’ll discover my POV is wealthy in making the unimportant really feel vital. My pursuits are huge and doubtless complicated to any onlooker. Solely in my head can I see the through-line of what catches my eye. I’ll attempt to stroll you thru them as greatest I can, so we aren’t scratching our heads on the inevitable whiplash.

So right here we go—take my hand, and let’s cannonball into my very first Sunday Put up.
