I've gathered my favorite books - fiction and non-fiction - that feeling like a slow afternoon with jam on toast and linen on your back. These pages are full of art, tradition, memory, and timeless beauty. Perfect for tucking under your arm on a Sunday market stroll or curling up under a tree.

Some things never go out of style - like delicate florals, candlelit dinners, and the art of slow living.

I have a friend who always sends me home with a gift whenever we get together—homemade aioli, a handmade apron, tea from Africa. She gives simply for the joy of giving. Inspired by her generosity, I’ve adopted this practice in my own life, and it has brought me so much joy. Now, I understand why she does it.

I have a list of "just because" gift suggestions in the link.

"The longer you wait on your dream life, the less

"The longer you wait on your dream life, the less time you have to spend with it."

I learned this late in life. But that's okay, better late than never.

Make a decision. Set your intention. Live your dream life right now.

Just a realization I had. I have this habit of telling myself I'm stuck. I get an idea, and instead of executing, I ruminate. Or I ponder how the outcome will be. This would go on for days, sometimes weeks. I finally got honest with myself. I'm not stuck. I'm never stuck. I'm just scared. Scared of judgement, getting it wrong, not having my work liked; all the fears. Now that I know, when that feeling comes, I say thank you and move forward. I let my creative intention lead, and come what may with no fear.

“Live with a sense of purpose, honoring the beau

“Live with a sense of purpose, honoring the beauty in what lasts. Let each choice you make and each item you cherish tell a story, not just for you but for those who come after. In this, you weave a life that becomes an heirloom—a gift of intentionality, grace, and meaning.”

I started the practice of buying myself a bouquet

I started the practice of buying myself a bouquet of flowers every Friday after work years ago. Truth be told, at the start of this practice, it was a sort of reward for putting up with another week of doing work that was not my soul's calling. I'm sure some of you can relate. Now I'm doing what I love, still buying myself flowers every week, but it holds a different meaning; one that uplifts me and beautifies my indoor world.

Look at this picture. It's a photo I took of a church ceiling in Rome. Zoom the photo out and marvel at its artistic detail. It's centuries old and still a marvel. I am in awe and forever enriched.
