My goal for these upcoming days is to find all the things that bring me joy here. I’ve kind of lost focus on the magic of fun and curiosity. What thingsContinue reading “Into the Unknown”

Solitude Sunday
Solitude Sunday is complete. It was a great day filled with my Sunday routines and time spent with my little family. I went for a hike and definitely appreciated being in nature again.

Wow, I had to be gentle with myself today. And the gentleness really won the battle! I just started being gentle almost sarcastically. It felt like sarcasm because I didn’t believe it would really boost my mood. It did! I think it improved my whole day. How did your day start? How’d it finish?
