Damn girl - you went deep. And then went deeper! I love your gratitude lists. And I love that it’s now just part of your everyday life. Habits can be good - yay. I need to do this. I want to make it my habit. Gonna try harder :). Thanks for the lift up ❤️ PS - these pics shook me. Such sweet moments.

It sucks that mindfulness people of the corporate world and yuppies who endorsed it at its birth are correct, just for the wrong reasons. But aloof people who try to act as disaffected as Shadow the Hedgehog are probably worse.

Wonderful little essay; thank you for sharing it.

On a barely-related note, I love the swimsuit coverup in that picture! Any chance you remember where you got it?

I got it from crossroads but I believe it’s Shein, surprised it made it to a second generation of owner, but I did wear it to pieces ❤️

Im doing yoga teacher training right now and we were discussing the Power of Now this weekend! I wrote a little essay about it, sent it to my teachers, went to bed, and woke up to this in my inbox! Thanks for this. Im grateful for my big heavy coat on this windy drizzly spring morning, im grateful to have a job i care about, I'm grateful for my warm coffee and my old green Stanley thermos like my granddad took to work every day too im grateful for you and matt and the joy your words bring me. Om santi and all that jazz
