    Five Quiet Ways I’m Moving Through February

    February 1, 2026 /

    February can feel heavy, quiet, and unsettled — not quite the beginning we’re promised, and not fully winter either. In this reflective Sunday post, I share five quiet ways I’m moving through February with less pressure and more care. This isn’t about productivity or fresh starts, but about staying steady in late winter, tending to energy gently, and allowing the season to be exactly what it is.

    🎃 Our Little Friday Letter, (Friday, 17th October, 2025)

    October 17, 2025 /

    This week’s letter is a love note to the road I’ve travelled all my life — a quiet reflection on belonging, slowing down, and rediscovering the beauty in the ordinary. When we stop rushing, we begin to see what’s been right in front of us all along: the familiar paths, the steady rhythms, and the small, sacred wonders of everyday life.

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 ❤️
