Echoes from the Wander
18 August 2025
Ahoy, wanderer—
Thew winds dropped in my sails this weekend and my Echoes come to you a wee bit late. Yikes amighty! Hopefully, she’ll be worth the wait.
So another week folds behind us, while another one unfurls ahead. Here’s a quick look at where we’ve sailed and what waters we’ll cross together in the days to come.

A Note for Fellow Wanderers
If the ponder-inspired wander has been meaningful for you, consider passing this along to a friend who might enjoy a bit of wonder, a bit of story, and a steady rhythm in their inbox.
Always a pleasure to wander beside you.
