6 Notes Sunday: Playing full out, keeping promises & never giving up
The best notes, posts, and random discoveries from my week on Substack.
Happy Sunday Friends!
I’m still here in a very rainy Vancouver today! 🇨🇦 (We’ve had beautiful sunshine all week though, so have been super lucky with gorgeous weather).
We’re off to Victoria on Vancouver Island later this week and I’m excited to meet a friend I’ve known for years online and have never met in person!
It’s an extra special meeting as he’s a specialist in COPD and was at the end of FB messenger throughout the last months of my Mum’s time on this earth, helping me ask the right questions, get the right treatment, and ensure her final days were as comfortable as possible.
I’m looking forward to giving him a huge hug, plus he’s going to be showing us around Victoria, which I’m looking forward to exploring! 🥰
So on to today’s 6 Notes Sunday, my weekly roundup for chilled Sundays when all we want to do is skim headlines and drink coffee (or tea in my case).
Here are 5 of my favourite Substack Notes from the week, plus my own most popular one.

Let’s get into it.
#1
I grabbed this note from Claudia’s recent article ‘The Notes Playbook for Your First 1000 Subs’. The article is excellent and worth reading (and actioning), but I absolutely LOVED the note for the line about the street musician.
Played like it was a sold-out stadium.
Let that sink in. ❤️
#2
Personal integrity is highly underrated.
Keeping the promises you make to yourself is the ultimate life hack. 💪
#3
This is such a beautiful story, and a reminder that all the morning routines, self help strategies, and goal plans can’t beat just living every day the best you possibly can. ❤️
#4
This note slipped by unnoticed on Substack this week, but I think it’s the perfect metaphor for building your online business.
I’ve built businesses on sand and sure enough they’re currently at the bottom of the ocean.
Products aren’t your foundation. Your website isn’t your foundation. Your logo isn’t your foundation.
Your audience is.
Grow that first and your business has foundations that last. 💪
#5
I’m a bit obsessed with churches, cathedrals, temples etc, and this one is now firmly on my list.
Great pic Meghan! It looks huge!
