Summer Manifesto

This summer I feel I’m reconnecting to something I’ve been seeking for sometime. This year it feels different, perhaps my daughter being a year older, perhaps it’s the work I’m doing and the life I’m building. I’m into my new rhythm and I’m making progress.

Cultivating a more intentional life can start by noticing the small simple pleasures and simple moments of our everyday lives. The simple things, the gentle moments of our day connecting to our senses, and the glimmers can blend together and help create a sense of joy unique to our own lives.

When we start to notice more of the small things which feel joyful in our day to day they can start to add together to create a feeling which tops us up, helps cultivate more intentionality in life and support our wellness and joy.

The magic of a foggy morning

This week I felt a deep appreciation for the fog. It’s the first week of February and we have been immersed in a cloud of fog for much of the morning. We don’t get a lot of it in the city where I live, so when it arrives it feels a rare moment to savour.
