Rituals & Guides
It’s never all or nothing.
One thing I appreciate about slow living is that it’s not an all-or-nothing mindset. With the way the world is set up, we tend to believe we have to do everything: work out, hit 10k steps, read, cook, clean, stay on top of laundry, every single day. But that’s not […]

Life in the Grey: When Everything Is Fine but Nothing Feels Full
There are times in life when it just doesn’t feel alive. The days blend into the next, and while the sun is still out, it’s behind clouds. So nothing is wrong, but nothing is right. That’s how I feel right now. I’m not sad, I’m not happy, I feel like […]
