May felt like such a turning point, mostly because I’m truly allowing myself to reflect on the fact that one year ago my family and said F**K IT to our suburban life in Florida (and all the baggage that comes with it iykyk). Also learning to appreciate all the ways my life has been enriched because of the decision, most of which is to witness all the little ways I feel and receive love.
My husband bringing home a bag of ripe peaches because he knows I crave them when they’re in season. Meeting a new neighbor and having a conversation for hours. Receiving notes by snail mail. Hugs from friends.
Writing in my new “one line a day journal” has also helped me to remember these little moments, because they really do add up to a life.

Confession: I have this toxic trait where anytime someone says something nice about me, I refuse to believe them. I suppose I’ve gotten better over the years, but my body still tightens and even if I say the words ‘thank you’ out loud, there are still voices that tell me otherwise.

If you’re new here, hello! 👋Searching For Enough is a reader-supported publication, pondering on what enough looks like in our lives, a question we can only answer by looking within. Would love to have you join the community ❤️
Still chewing on Erin Williams’ piece on “The Problem With Pema Chodron” and some of the issues that the bureaucracy around spiritual leaders/institution have. Thanks to Nan Tepper for posting this on notes.
This is the Marimekko one line a day journal I’ve been loving (the bright color gives me so much joy). I’m also eyeing these strawberry notebooks as I need to replace smaller ones I like to stick in my purse.
Lost my way a bit with my love of cooking/trying new recipes, so I have bookmarked this farro salad to try out - anything with pistachio in it is a win in my book!
A friend mentioned Shikanji (Indian Lemonade), and I had to look up the recipe as a fun alternative to “regular” lemonade
Taking my time with Jeff Chang’s book on a history of hip hop (it’s 500 pages, and my brain can only handle so much apparently)
I’ve become such a light sleeper (it gets worse when travelling apparently) so definitely bringing these Alpine deep sleep earplugs for an upcoming trip.
Making a very large batch of these lemon crinkle cookies for a large event, and are a fan favorite.
