Handwritten Note: Jan. 3rd
I’m so excited for our very first “handwritten note”!
Each week, I’ll share a little update from my life using the following prompts. Hopefully, they’ll provide some tips for you too.
As true pen pals would, I’d love to hear back! Respond via email, or use the templates on Instagram to answer the same prompts yourself.
With that, let’s dive in!
With a short time off from internship and school, I practiced letting myself actually feel how I felt. While I wanted to pack my days with meaningful activities, I recognized I was tired, that sometimes a meaningful day meant sleeping in or taking a nap. It can be difficult to listen to our bodies, especially when we feel time off is scarce. It was hard, and it felt good all at the same time.
I imagine like many, I also reflected on this past year and looked ahead. I was filled with overwhelming gratitude for the little moments of joy I’ve seen this last year. I held a lot of sadness sitting in the weight of this year too. And I watched my emotions go up, and then once again down, at the idea of the world opening back up again, and realizing we may be a long way off.
I’m reminded this morning of the creative ways we connected, supported, and moved through this last year. While we may not be able to imagine what 2021 will bring, I do believe we can be on this journey together, and I find comfort in that.
When I choose to have a drink, one of my very favorites is a frozen gin and tonic from Eight Row Flint in HTX. We finally created the recipe at home with a lime and grapefruit Oleo Saccharum, and I’ve listed the super easy recipe on my site!
Attachment Styles describe the ways we show up and connect in relationships. They dramatically influence how we respond, feel, connect, and interpret our relationships! Each of us has one, all formed through our own unique experiences etc. It can be helpful to understand both you and your partner’s attachment style, to best understand and support one another. I’m still learning, and reading “Attached” if you’d like to learn with me!
These mugs from Good Kind Work brought a little extra joy to our morning coffee and afternoon tea. It’s a friendly reminder to pause and really savor what’s in my cup.
