Perhaps our first thought is that there isn’t a lot of magic + wonder this holiday season. I’m pretty sure that most of us are not celebrating the holidays in the ways we usually do. I, for one, have been dreaming every night this…
December nights are long. And I feel like I’m right in the middle of one dark, continuous night. And the only thing I can do is wait. As cozy as it is with the lights + decorations during this season, I’m finding it hard…
Oh lordy, time is moving fast. Happy 3rd Sunday in Advent, my friends. Can you believe it?! Next Sunday is Christmas Eve + then in two weeks we’re on the threshold of a whole new year! Do you feel calm about it all or freaked…
Darkness. Silence. Solitude. Stillness. Are these words that make you cringe, make you feel lonely, frightened, calm, inspired, unsure? What feelings do they evoke in your soul? Whatever it may be, it’s totally ok. However you react to them, it is absolutely ok. And,…

Good evening, dear souls. And happy 2nd Sunday in Advent as well. Y’all, I’ve had a really, really slow weekend. Like Lina + I didn’t go anywhere. We literally nested all weekend long. In fact, so far that’s how my weekends in December seem…
It’s no secret that I love dark winter mornings. And, around here, since it is dark forever it seems, it’s easy to enjoy the mornings. Especially weekend mornings. Even if I wake late (And by late I mean 7am. It’s sick, I know), I…
