Part of this year's goal of recognizing the abundance around me includes minimizing distractions. I am hoping to find the activities and things that make me truly happy and put the kibosh on distractions that don’t really bring me joy. To do this, I’ve been trying to narrow down my extra-curricular activities. The hope… Continue reading Year of Abundance: How to Work in Distractions in a Mindful Way
I had to take things slowly while reading Sing, Unburied, Sing. I debated whether or not to even finish it because of how heavy it felt right from the beginning. But my strategy for this book was simple: two chapters each night, max. But once I got about 2/3 of the way through the… Continue reading Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
Through all of my malaise, I neglected to post a couple of weeks of my hobonichi layouts! I won't show you last week's because it is basically empty but I did a good job of keeping up with them the previous two weeks. I won't go through all of my goals line by line… Continue reading Hobonichi Weekly layouts, Feb 5-11 & Feb 12-18
(yes, that's my child with a toilet plunger on top of his head.) I've abandoned my blog! These last few weeks have been really hard for me in a lot of ways. It's been a total jungle in my home since my two year old learned to open doors. He's a slippery little sucker who… Continue reading Sunday Check In
I first heard about The Greenglass House on the What Should I Read Next podcast and was enchanted by Anne Bogel's brief synopsis. Shortly after her podcast, it was included Anne's roundup of books to cozy up with this winter and she described it as a wink and a nod to The Phantom Tollbooth, which… Continue reading The Greenglass House by Kate Milford
Just wanted to pop in and share last week's Hobo spread and check in on my productivity for the week. I read an amazing book (Sing, Unburied, Sing -- but more about that soon!) that was short but very heavy, so it took the entire week. So I didn't meet all of my reading goals,… Continue reading Last week’s Hobonichi spread
How does the weekend always go so fast?! Yet, here we are again - dragging ourselves out of bed and pouring cups of coffee to jump start the day. But perhaps you're not? Perhaps you're already looking forward to what's coming your way this week? I hope it's the latter for you! I'm excited to… Continue reading Weekly Tarot Inspiration

Click on over to find lots of different people sharing the things that are saving their lives right now.

Did you realize that last night was a Blue Moon? That means that it was the second full moon in a calendar month, but last night's moon was extra special. Not only was it a blue moon, but it was a blood moon (which means the moon had a red tint) and there was… Continue reading Blue Moon Reading — Attracting Abundance
We’re only a few weeks into 2018, but I think A Gentleman in Moscow is a contender for my favorite book of the year! In a lot of ways, this felt like an adult version of Eloise and a more approachable War and Peace. I’m not an experienced Russian novel reader, but I would have easily… Continue reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
