“Deal of the Week” is an updated take on the horoscope column. Bad advice, worse poetry, every Monday.

You’ve been hard at work for over a year, and you’re just beginning to see a shimmer as you scratch the surface. Sure, you’ve grown, relaxed, learned – but reflect on how far you’ve come, and just how fat the fruit have ripened this spring. It might not be time to harvest yet, and that’s ok, but it’s clear you’ve changed. A year away has driven you to thoughts and deeds you might say are out of character, but here you are slaying dragons and saving puppies like you always dreamed. Kindness and confidence are your craft, and those of us who made it to the other side alive are coming out experts.
