Annual Substack Paid Subscription Sale:
I’ve had a few folks reach out to inquire about any upcoming paid subscription discounts, and yes, I’m excited to be offering my annual birthday month discount on annual memberships to The Perpetual Visitor this month! In honor of my 43rd birthday this month, anyone who becomes a paid subscriber will enjoy 43% off a monthly or yearly subscription, which includes two to three exclusive paid posts a month and first news of special events (in addition to the one free monthly post for all subscribers). The discount link is good through July 3rd, so if you have been wanting to subscribe and support in this way, I hope this invitation is a welcome one for you!
Have you heard of the practice of noticing? I recently saw a post on Instagram that encouraged the habit of noticing:
I have been intentional about cultivating gratitude over the years and while I still name things each day I feel grateful for, I find that for some of us, at least some of the time, gratitude can feel a bit hefty in terms of its ask. But noticing? Something about the word itself feels lighter. Somehow noticing feels more casual, quieter, requiring less effort, especially during full seasons of life (such as the one I am currently in).
As someone who relishes celebrating the summer solstice but at the present time is living with several physical limitations as I recover from the birth of my little one, noticing feels like the right-sized invitation: deliberate but gentle, special but requiring nothing but my current surroundings and some curiosity.
There have been bigger solstice celebrations in the past, and I hope there will be in the future as well. In this moment, I make peace with a quiet pause to notice what’s right here. I invite myself to see that the world is indeed wide.
Sweet summer solstice moments I noticed…
Just as the sun pauses today before she enters the second half of the year, I slowed for just a few minutes to see what I could notice. Here’s what I noticed today on the summer solstice:
