Founder's Corner

We've got lots of great things to share this week, and something I'm really excited to announce (more on that below). 

But first, Tuesday was Veterans Day here in the US, and I want to take a brief moment to honor my Dad here in The Weekly Light.

My Dad was 18 when he went off to Vietnam, became an accomplished helicopter pilot, survived unimaginable challenges, and then returned home to put himself through law school and raise our family.

Thank you Dad, and all the Vets out there, for all the sacrifices you made.

 One day a year certainly isn't enough.

OK, I said I had something exciting to announce, right?

Well, here it is:

We just launched a Pay What You Can option across our entire site.

Get the discount you need. Support small business. Pay it forward if you can. It's that simple.

You can read more about it here, and stay tuned for more details from us in the days ahead.

I told you it was exciting, didn't I?

The most unique and heartfelt offer on the planet. Happening right now.

From Our Table To Yours

Chicken Pesto Meatballs

These meatballs are a delicious twist on a classic favorite. They're perfect for a cozy family meal or a dinner party.

It says a lot that Seth (a self-professed meatball lover) wasn't a fan of the idea of chicken meatballs when I first suggested this recipe. But, one bite of the juicy pesto flavor was all it took to win him over, and now it's a regular in our rotation.

Pop some in the freezer so you have a quick dinner ready to heat up in a pinch!

What We're Listening To

Tiger's Blood
Waxahatchee

This Waxahatchee album is one of my favorites from last year, and I’ve found myself putting it on often lately.

The songs feel like the perfect blend of indie folk and Americana, and Katie’s voice stands out in a crowded field because it’s so unique and full of soul. 

Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Be The Light Hat

The perfect hat for the person who makes a conscious effort to bring brightness and positivity into the world.

 Maybe that special someone is your mom, sister, best friend, neighbor - or maybe it's YOU.

Quote of the Week

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

- Roald Dahl
