Eye Crinkles
•••
Eye crinkles are gorgeous and a delight. They’re like dimples for your eyes. They look cute on all. It is a gift when a true smile is bestowed upon you, with sun rays fanning from someone’s eye corners. If you have them, thank you for sharing.

Legs up the wall
•••
During a work break (or another time). I started per recommendation from my acupuncturist and love it. You needn’t always wait for a perfect time to rest but rather can slip in a mini-break somewhere. Especially rejuvenating while listening to a story or calm music for ten minutes! I text my sister a photo like this daily and recommend this too.

Candle Season
•••
As soon as the days begin getting shorter, we call it “Candle Season” and light candles for each dinner. Even breakfast too. It makes everything a cozy delight and we can celebrate the seasons’ change rather than mourn the loss of summer. In spring, we put screens on our door and “Open Door Season” commences with open doors all day.

Boring, but it helps! It makes everything more streamlined. Even if you change your mind, it’s easier to edit than start from scratch. *photo is from my kid starting middle school. 🥹

Bike Beam bike light
•••
Made by a lovely friend in the Bay Area. I love this bike light. It gives 360 visibility with a lot of height, which helps me feels more at ease when I’m riding pre-dawn. I can chose the color to my mood. Easy to install. USB recharge occasionally.

What’s normal anxiety and what’s an anxiety disorder?
•••
Anxiety is normal and part of being alive but when is it a disorder? This podcast helped me understand myself more and I ultimately came to realize I needed more help. Let’s make new neural pathways y’all!

Wear a face mask while you do something mandatory/annoying.
•••
It somehow feels a tiny bit rebellious because you’re doing something nice! Here I’m renewing a required certification I never use (annoying) while brightening my skin(✨🧚🏽♀️🌀)

Boulder Outdoor Survival School Field Expedition
•••
When I was 17 I spent a month learning “primitive” outdoor survival in the desert of Utah. It fundamentally changed my understanding of self, my resiliency and my abilities while also striping away the noise and complexity of daily life. I gained a deep well of self-respect which I’ve quietly carried ever since. I’m not saying this is for everyone but I believe in the power of pushing yourself bigbig and deep contemplation. *During this course I also met the loml with whom I reconnected and married years later. This serendipitous love taught me I’m intrinsically lovable as is and that life is a bit magical.
