Brittany, this is everything 💖 I’m at a place where I’ve been thinking through all of these things, over and over again, and I read this just when I needed to. As always, your words are a balm for the soul.

All amazing suggestions! I've fallen back in love with Pinterest this past year and it's truly such a delight to create different mood boards for seasons/birthdays/etc.

It’s such a happy place, when social media feels overwhelming in various ways I like to turn to Pinterest!

This is so refreshing and such a great reminder! Thank you for sharing!! I listen to my meditation app. every morning for about 10 minutes while I have my cup of coffee and wear my red light mask on my mask. Such a peaceful way to start the day.

Oh Diana that sounds magical! I’m so glad you are prioritizing that time for yourself, such a small thing with a big impact!

I've just read that bookshop.org is working on selling ebooks. Maybe that could become a good substitute 😊

It was overwhelming! It was really helpful for me to think and remember these things, how often our culture dismisses the beautiful things that don’t require spending money. ☺️

Thank you for this! Yesterday when my inbox was flooded with the Prime Day "recommendations," I was like "do you feel your soul leaving your body" when you send out a "buy this!" email?

And I still use Amazon--but the goal is much, much, less. :o)

Yessssss indeed! I think I blew my own my when I realized I didn’t need a Prime membership to still engage in some of the benefits of Amazon in moderation.

Funny you mentioned a dance party! Last night my husband was doing a little DIY project for us (a backpack organization station/dump zone) and I wanted to keep my son out of his hair so I turned on ABBA and we danced in the kitchen while prepping dinner. It was perfect! I've been loving listening to music out loud lately.
