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.

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 😊

Such great ideas! Yesterday was overwhelming with Prime Day everything everywhere so this was a very refreshing post to see!

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.
