Slow down, you're doing fine.

Quiet travel, a choreography duo, mocktails, etc.

The pull between stillness and movement is constant for those balancing competing passions. Do we push through the workout or acknowledge our body’s limits? Do we attend the professional development session or take a long lunch? Do we enjoy extra cuddles with the sleeping baby or complete some chores during nap? Whether you’re embracing a quiet pause or leaning into momentum, there’s opportunity to appreciate both rest and progress.

  • Burning Ships. “Moving forward is so remarkably hard and yet, it is the only way.” A beautiful perspective on processing and grief. 🖤 

  • An Ocean of Books. Open a fantasy map and search for islands based on authors and books. I don’t know if I totally understand this, but the visuals are compelling. 🌊 

  • What is Quiet Travel? TBH, my trips that are not quiet travel are few and far between. 🧳 

Cost n’ Mayor

I’m never sad to see this choreography duo on my feed. They’re talented, silly, and flippin’ cute.

Anne of the Island

Last summer I read many of the Anne of Green Gables series and immediately fell in love. Book 3 is Anne and friends off to university and you’ll wish you could be there too.

Where do you fall on the quiet pause <> leaning into momentum spectrum?

  • Perpetual Calendar. Look at this lovely little desk accessory! I can see myself counting down the days until I get to update a new month.

  • Posture Corrector. You can find something more heavy duty, but I like this version to easily slip on and off in between calls during a work day. It does make a difference!

  • Travel Jewelry Case. I’ve been really satisfied with this less-than-$5 case that holds what I need it to and keeps things from getting lost or tangled.

Fall Mocktails

I tried a few mocktail recipes last winter, but found all of them too sweet with not much flavor. This list does make me want to try again, in particular the crockpot options.
