Managing Guilt Through Organizing: Tackling Clutter and Personal Tasks
In this week's edition of Weekend Favorites, we share a heartfelt tribute to a special feline companion, Wilbur, who sadly passed away last week. As Courtney Carver reminisces about her 17-year-old cat, she reflects on the profound impact pets like Wilbur can have on our lives.
Wilbur, named after the pig in Charlotte's Web due to his healthy appetite, became an integral part of Courtney's daily routine. He joined her on coaching calls, listened to presentations, and even participated in podcast recordings. Wilbur watched movies and meditated with Courtney, providing a comforting presence that shaped her lifestyle.
As Courtney navigates through her grief, she finds solace in the paw prints Wilbur left behind on her belongings and in her heart. She declines a commemorative paw print from the vet, stating that the paw prints already on her life are enough.
Moving forward, Courtney shares her love for 21 movies that give off a fall vibe, 21 ways to clean with a lemon, and 50 new uses for old things. She also recommends a 4-step formula from Dr. Christine Li to help readers stop procrastinating.
Courtney encourages readers to sign up for Weekend Favorites in their inbox to stay updated on her recommendations and insights. She also takes a moment to appreciate her current reads and listens, and reminds everyone to make time for the things they love.
Lastly, Courtney's Instagram favourite this week is from @itsnata.
