Tip of the Week:?

"August was nearly over – the month of apples and falling stars, the last care-free month for the school children. The days were not hot, but sunny and limpidly clear – the first sign of advancing autumn." ~ Victor Nekrasov

As August winds down, it's a reminder that just like the seasons, our work has its own rhythms. Take time to enjoy the present and prepare for the busy season ahead! As much as I love summer, I do think autumn is my favourite. ??

Gif Of The Week

Rebecca’s Reflections

Dear Di?ry,

I’m back from singing my heart out at the Eras Tour with Taylor Swift, and let me tell you - it was absolutely amazing! But now that I’m back, I’m diving headfirst into all the exciting things happening in the Hyv? and Magento communities.

While I was away, it’s clear that everyone was very busy! I’ve loved catching up on everything and here’s to another fantastic week ahead!

Full of energy, inspiration, and maybe just a little bit of post-concert glow. ??

What have you been up to? Let me know!

I always try my best not to, but have I missed something? If you have anything to share with the Hyv? & Magento community, please drop it in the comments ??

Have something great coming this week? Be sure to tag Hyv? when you share it!

Thank you for being here ????
