Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine 💊 This week's prescription: Every generation had its own cure for boredom. Ours didn't involve Wi-Fi, smartphones, or streaming. It involved drinking from the hose, using our imagination, and being told to be home before the streetlights came on. And somehow... we survived. 😄 Stay well (and appreciate your Wi-Fi), Liz P.S. Finish this sentence: "When I was bored as a kid, I..." Me? I rode my bike and roamed the neighborhood until dark. Good times. Hit...

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine 💊 This week's prescription: Kindness isn't complicated. Sometimes it's a hug from a complete stranger. Sometimes it's simply choosing to brighten someone else's day. Fun fact: Hugs lower stress and release oxytocin, often called the "love hormone." So maybe this whole email counts as preventative care. Know someone who could use a little boost today? Send this their way. Stay well (and go find someone to hug), Liz P.S. If you could hug someone right...

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine 💊 This week's prescription: We know. We're sorry. We're also not sorry at all. If someone's day has been a little... nuts... send this their way. Stay well (and keep chasing the good stuff), Liz P.S. Be honest... Your reaction to our 🥜 dad joke: 🤣 I laughed. 😏 I rolled my eyes... but I smiled. 🙄 Groan, that was terrible. 📤 I'm forwarding this to ruin someone else's day.

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine 💊 This week's prescription: Some days the ducks cooperate. Other days... this. If this made you smile, forward it to someone who could use a little levity. Stay well... and keep your ducks in a row. Liz P.S. Be honest... How are your ducks doing today? They've all lined up. A few wandered off. I'm supposed to have ducks? The ducks are in charge now.

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine This made us laugh: Not everything that brightens your day has to make you laugh out loud. Sometimes it's just something unexpectedly wholesome. The kind of thing that reminds you there are still good people doing good things... and that the internet occasionally gets it right. We'll take those moments whenever we can. Smiles are free. And we think sharing them is one of the easiest ways to make someone else's day a little better. If this made you...

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine This made us laugh: There comes a point in adulthood when your idea of excitement changes. Concert tickets? Maybe. A night out? Ummm. A perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken for $4.99? Now we're talking. We're not saying memes are medicine. We are saying endorphins are free. Laughter is free. Memes are free. Preventative care has never been this affordable. We hope this gave you a smile. If it did, forward it to someone who could use one too. Stay well...

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine This made us laugh: We've all been there. You lock the car. Then lock it again. Then one more time from halfway across the parking lot just to be absolutely certain it's extra locked. Because deep down, we all believe the third click is the one that really means it. We can't officially prescribe memes. Probably. But laughter is good for you, so we're sending one anyway. Stay well (and laughing), Liz P.S. What's the last thing that made you laugh out...

Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine This made us laugh: Turns out laughter really does reduce stress and release endorphins. So while we can't officially prescribe memes, we're pretty sure this counts as preventative care. Stay well (and laughing), Liz P.S. If you've got something that made you laugh recently, hit reply and send it my way. We may feature it in a future email.

Hi Reader, She didn’t come to us with one problem. In the way it often does, life came at her all at once. Diabetes she couldn’t manage without insulin she couldn’t afford.Grief that swallowed her whole after losing her daughter unexpectedly.Everything else starting to unravel. Before long, she was living in her car. We see a lot of hard situations. I don’t say that to minimize hers. I say it because I want you to understand what our team said when they first sat down with her: Where do we...
