I'm an avid journal writer. But not in the way you would think. I'm not writing to my journal or even recording what happened in my day (often looking back at those journals make me cringe and they end up in the garbage!) No, in my journals I make lists or take notes. Some journals I'll process what's going on in my world but those aren't one's I ever look back at–I actually prefer my digital journal for that so i[...]
As an artist, I'm saying goodbye to the whirlwind of social media. It's not an impulsive decision; it's a conscious choice born out of several factors. Firstly, social platforms consume precious time that could be dedicated to actual artistry. The endless scroll detracts from the joy of creation, leading to a disconnect from the very essence of my craft. So it's time, to become social media free. https://www.you[...]
There's a transformative practice that transcends the digital age—the art of sending cards for every occasion, or as I like to call it, snail mail. This intentional act of communication, often overlooked in our fast-paced, digital world, becomes a poignant reminder to savor life's moments. In the spirit of building connections, let's explore the diverse occasions that call for the timeless gesture of sending a car[...]
The holiday season has a magical way of transforming our homes into festive wonderlands, filled with decorations, mementos, and the warm glow of twinkling lights. Yet, as the year draws to a close, there's an undeniable desire to return to simplicity, to create a space that breathes, inspires, and sets the stage for a fresh start. Inspired by the principles of Marie Kondo and The Minimalists, it's time to declutter[...]
Finding the right closing gift as a Denver Realtor can feel overwhelming. You want to thank your clients for trusting you with such an important life milestone, while also leaving a lasting impression that keeps you top of mind for referrals and future business. Generic gifts like wine or a gift card may be appreciated, but they rarely stand out. To truly connect with clients in Denver’s competitive real estate[...]
What does happiness mean? Our founding fathers made a point of saying that a basic human right was to be able to pursue happiness, but what does that look like? Is happiness getting everything you want? Having a job that you are excited to wake up to every single day? Having a family that you never fight with? Does happiness look like an episode of Leave It To Beaver? What is happiness and how do we even pursu[...]
The industry of productivity has been around since civilization began. However, most of the tactics we see in corporations and are taught to bring about the most yield for our work, were actually developed and perfected during the slave trade in 1619. Matthew Desmond paints a picture of the cotton industry and the enslaved workers during this time in episode 2 of the New York Times 1619 podcast. The way cotton fa[...]
I’ve alway had an eye for design. Even at 3 when I wore every piece of jewelry I owned, I had a vision for things. But design isn’t everything when it comes to creating a slow home. Yes, having a beautiful place that welcomes you in, is nice, but I’m more concerned about having a place that supports the way you live and then is designed well. (What can I say, I like pretty things). Function over fashion has[...]
In the last year I’ve gotten really into following the cycles of the moon. Not because I think that moon magic will all of a sudden make my deepest wishes come true, but because it’s creates this natural rhythm within my life that allows me to check in and feel really grounded. The same kind of feeling I get in a calm and cozy home. For those who are new to lunar cycles, they happen every 29 days where we wat[...]
As you well know by now, I started gardening this year. The process of taking this small organic matter that you would never take a second look at, pressing it into the heart of the earth, and then loving it for days on end, is pure magic. I go out to my garden beds every day, checking on them, talking to them, nourishing them, waiting to see what they’ll become. It’s a rhythm that has been feeding my soul. B[...]
