Here's To Now

In the wake of the social media age, I have noticed that I tend to lose myself in a frenzy of what others are doing, who they are being, what they're listening to and reading, where they're going. It's really hard not to get caught up in the hubbub of the other, and forget to honor the self.

People aim so high, and I tend to want to keep up instead of staying small, humble, and slow.

Slow = the ability to calculate and measure. 

Slow = taking the time to make things as they should be. Not worrying what others are doing or what's going to happen tomorrow. Sometimes, we live too far ahead. We need to focus on the now.

Some things I'm slowing down to:

Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

Regina Spektor (she's such a classic and such a poet)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

Self Love in the form of a luxurious skincare routine, yoga, good food, and empathy.

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain

The Goddess Guide: Exploring the Attributes and Correspondences of the Divine Feminine
