It’s March, dear reader, and I find myself wanting to open up more!
The mornings where I wake up in a tangle of legs and arms, little (and not so little) bodies trying to get closer to me— these are my favorites and also the hardest ones to get out of bed from and get to the writing table. But I’m propelled by the desire to keep going, to keep writing, to “make it happen.” So I wiggle out of the middle of the bed, light the Palo Santo between our rooms, and start the kettle.
It’s March and after a trip filled with coffee (mostly decaf though), I’m putting my warm beverage of choice aside for a bit and making do with warm water and lemon at the writing desk. February was rich with food, coffee, pastries, and self love which my heart needed to sustain itself from the heartbreak of last year, but I am noticing the importance balance in all things. Besides, a little break from coffee will make it that much more enjoyable when I make it or have some with friends.
At the beginning of February, I set out with the goal of writing down the glimmers. Looking for them every chance I could and viewing myself as a lucky person again (which I am very much a lucky person) after creating the belief that I was just benefiting from the luck of those around me. And let me tell you, after the first few days of struggle, I really started to see joy/beauty/luck/abundance/love all around me. Changing my story changed me and the challenge to look out for these things really reminded me that when you get your head right and you can change the story.
So here are some major highlights with photos of my joy.
I hope they bring a smile to your face and maybe inspire you to look for the luck/joy/beauty/abundance in your day.
