Dress the Door With Shelves

Don’t let any space go to waste! Store condiments, spices and other small items in a rack on the back of the door. You’ll be surprised at just how many items can fit.

Caregiver Guilt — Myths and The Truths

  • Myth: “I’m not doing enough.”
    • Truth: You are doing your best. Accept help and take time for yourself.
  • Myth: “If they decline, I’m failing.”
    • Truth: Aging and disease cause decline. Your care still matters.
  • Myth: “I should have made a better decision.”
    • Truth: You made the best choice you could at the time.

self love

When we can accept ourselves, even on our toughest days, there’s no more need to hide or pretend. We don’t have to puff ourselves up. We don’t have to drag others down in order to feel okay about ourselves. We don’t have to curate how we show up, only willing to share the most filtered versions of who we are because we’re scared of being judged or rejected. 

Something else really amazing happens in the healing practice of self-love: We start to soften towards others. We have more grace for others’ moments of imperfection, because we’re already practicing that gentle honesty with ourselves. When we do mess up, it’s less scary to admit it and to make things right, because we already know that we still have value even when we’re not perfect. Our relationships become vehicles for growth, connection, and transformation, rather than just performance.

curiosity

You believe it’s powerful to face our days with curiosity. Tell us more. 

It’s when we do not have such a fixed mindset but think, What if there are things here that I don’t know? What if there are opportunities? What if there are doorways at this moment that I don’t even see? 

When we’re running on autopilot, we miss the fact that everything we’re seeking access to is only ever in the now. So, when we start to train ourselves to meet the moment not with such tunnel vision but with a sense of I’m curious about what’s possible, and I’m curious about what’s trying to reach me today, it starts to open us up, and kind of move us in a direction where we find that to ultimately be quite true.  –Brianna Wiest

Fashionable sleep

Why don’t you…decorate your bed to the standards you would dress yourself for a night out. The same care and dedication should go into sourcing the very best wardrobe for where you spend a third of your life. Think of a pleated dust ruffle as your beds Prada skirt its decorative throw pillows as a Hermes scarf and a downy duvet cover as a coat from the row. Good linens are an investment worth making.
