Name your Aligned for Mercury Retrograde takeaways

Looking back at July 18–Aug 11, name your three:— one win you’re proud of,— one lesson you’re taking forward,— one thing you’ll do differently next time.
Or tell us your best “Mercury made me do it” story—what happened, and what did it help you see?
My AMR Takeaway
I made the most comprehensive “going to the cottage” checklist ever—and didn’t forget a thing. I learned that a little arts-and-crafts time each day makes everything else flow more easily. Next Mercury retrograde, I’m reorganizing my craft supplies.
And here’s a favorite alignment: I planned a family reunion during a heat wave and built in flexibility for late arrivals. To avoid wilting before the fun began, I let go of being Martha Stewart and served an easy salad buffet instead of picnic fried chicken with all the usual accompaniments. I bought the pie and paired it with store‑bought ice cream. It was relaxed, delicious, and a wonderful time for everyone.
What’s your win, your lesson, and your do‑differently? Share in the comments—or bring it to the discussion board so we can cheer you on.
