It’s wild and windy here again today. Rain against the windows. Weather warnings. The kind of morning that calls for a candle, a cup of coffee, and a little quiet work at the laptop. Slow down is a word we’ve all heard a thousand times — sometimes softly, sometimes loudly, sometimes as something we think we should do. This is your midweek check-in. Slowing down is often sold as an escape. Monday evening already. Good morning, happy Monday. Happy new week to you all. It’s a glorious Sunday afternoon here. There’s something about mid-February. Good morning, happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
