Tuesday Edition - September 30, 2025

Good morning Member

It’s Tuesday, and we’re stepping into the day with light feet! As the week rolls along, here’s a cozy little question for you: Would you rather wear slippers/shoes around the house, or go barefoot? Some people love the cushy comfort of slippers/shoes, while others swear by the freedom of bare toes on the floor. What about you? Share your pick in the forum—I’m excited to see where everyone lands on this one!

Let’s look back at yesterday’s Word Unscramble: T O S A T I N

The answer is station; give it up for our Word Wizards who nailed it!

For today’s challenge, I'll leave you with this: I rest in cups when night is near. By day, I help your bite appear. With every smile, I re-adhere. What am I?

Drop your answer here, and if you’re spot on, you’ll get tomorrow’s shout-out. Now, take a moment for yourself and get comfortable. Today’s lineup includes important news on Social Security, reminders to check your pantry, fresh ways to save, and a sprinkle of fun to keep things light.

Sunlight Through Sutro

Not every forest needs to be miles away from the city. In San Francisco’s Mount Sutro, light spills through tall eucalyptus and settles into a quiet green floor, reminding us that wild beauty can exist right in the middle of urban life. Have you ever stepped into a place that felt like a hidden sanctuary? We’d love to hear about it in the forum.
