I’ll go first! One small thing that brings me back to myself: sitting on the back steps with a my favorite “World’s Best Mom” mug filled with coffee, no phone, no noise—just listening to the birds and the wind in the trees for five minutes. It’s a tiny thing, but it reminds me who I am every time.
The Merlin app has been a total game changer for me. I’m legally blind and so it’s hard for me to see the birds, but with Merlin I love that I can know exactly who’s joining me. (Though sometimes it’s also nice just to sit and not fiddle with technology at all!)
Hot bubble bath at the end of the day, sunrise walk on the beach, hot coffee in my favorite mug and listening to the bird with my for babies cuddles next to me…
This is such a wonderful exercise to share! I stand with my sliding door open looking out into the morning light & do a whole body lymph massage listening to the birds, followed by shaking with some music or not & some squats & breathwork.

That is exactly what I was going to say! Early mornings with bird song and chatter is very soothing to me.

I probably should look in to that....for when my curiosity needs satisfying. 😊
The Merlin app is amazing. During this time of year I love hearing migrating visitors.
The trees have such wisdom, don’t they?
Long conversations with a new friend
These are the best! Those moments of possibility, curiosity when you make a small connection with a stranger. They make me so happy, so hopeful.

Reading the newspaper with my coffee in the morning sun ☺️
This is a dying art! But a practice that I love. Reading the newspaper keeps you connected with your community, whether it’s local or global.
🧘♀️ my yoga practice, even if it's 15-minutes. Deep breathing with a slow mindful flow is restorative.
I need to get back to this; an injury sidelined me but there are so many simple movements!
Petting my dog, who is currently curled up in my lap.
My dog always brings me back to the present. Her soft fur, quiet eyes; I am most myself when I’m with my dog.
Playing with my dog
I’ve met your dog, and she is magical in the way she interacts with you 💕

Playing with my dog in the yard! She makes me laugh like nothing else in this universe.
A shower taken at my pace, without feeling the need to rush.
This is me too!
