What If the Witches Were Right?
A little witchcraft, a little imagination, and the wonderful possibility that magic might exist beyond the stories we've loved since childhood.
The Way DVF Sees It.
Diane von Furstenberg has a way of talking about getting older that changes the lens entirely. On living, beauty, and what the years leave behind.
A Little Magic in the Air
Every once in a while, something lines up so perfectly that coincidence starts to feel like a very small word for it.
Inner Child, Where Have You Been?
Inner child work is one of those phrases that can sound a little questionable the first time you hear it. As it turns out, there is quite a bit going on back there.
It Could Happen.
Maybe the thing we have been hoping for will happen, and maybe it won’t. The interesting part is how differently the mind feels when it is willing to consider both. It could happen, leaves a little room for something good to be possible again.
The Space to Listen
Sometimes what we are looking for is not another perspective, but the space to hear our own.
So, About Manifestation.
Manifestation can invite us to imagine what's possible without knowing exactly how life will unfold. Maybe part of the magic is leaving room for what we never thought to put on the vision board.
Body Intelligence 02
Most people are taught to question the body before they learn to listen to it. Over time, the mind learns how to continue forward while the body continues responding underneath it, and after enough repetition, the disconnection can begin to feel familiar.
The Thinking Mind
The mind is remarkably quick to form an opinion, especially about other people and ourselves. But how much of what we think we know comes from what we're actually seeing, and how much comes from what we've learned to believe?
The Imprint
It's fascinating how an experience can outlast our recollection of its details while still preserving how it felt to be there. Years later, a familiar sound, a particular fragrance, or an unexpected emotion can bring us remarkably close to a moment we thought we'd forgotten.
Body Intelligence 01
A walk can change our mood; certain company can put us at ease, while an ordinary experience can leave us feeling unsettled without knowing exactly why. How much do we notice about the way our bodies respond to everyday life?
Anxiety and Other Things.
A flight tomorrow, a doctor's appointment next week, an email that hasn't arrived. Anxiety has a way of turning uncertainty into something that feels immediate, as though considering every possible outcome might finally tell us how it will all turn out.
Somewhere Between the WiFi and the Trees.
In a world of constant signal and screens, the body still remembers its relationship to the Earth.
Was It Ever About the Coffee?
The morning coffee, the afternoon matcha, the Diet Coke that somehow doesn't count. Caffeine has found its way into nearly every part of the day, but what happens when we take it away? Perhaps it's the coffee we miss, or perhaps it's everything we've come to associate with having a cup.
So, Where Have I Been?
We spend so much time figuring out everyone else that eventually a fairly obvious question comes up: when did we stop including ourselves?
On Second Thought, Was I Even There.
The drive home we barely remember, the online purchase that seemed essential at midnight, the plans we agreed to before checking whether we actually wanted to go. It's remarkable how much of everyday life runs on habit, and how rarely we stop to consider whether those habits still reflect what we want.
The Unglamorous Middle.
There's a peculiar discomfort in no longer feeling at home in a life that was once familiar, especially when there's no clear idea of what comes next. We can find ourselves making plans simply to have something to look forward to, even when we're not quite sure what we're planning for.
Is Enough, Actually... Enough?
There's always another goal to reach, something to improve, or a version of ourselves we imagine will have everything figured out. It's worth wondering how often we're pursuing more because we genuinely want it, and how often we've simply become accustomed to believing that what we already have isn't enough.
