Feeling guilty about things that bring us joy is so 1980s. It’s easy to get caught up and focused on the more grandiose things in life – but the truth is, much of life’s joy is found in the little things that make us happy, regardless of what *anyone* thinks.

• Using a vacation or personal day to do absolutely nothing
• Treat yourself to something nice and feel-good
• Ordering takeout after a long week (or day) at work
• Binge-watching a show that adds no actual value to your life
• Going to bed and waking up at times that actually feel natural to you

Come join me on Substack, where I share my Love Notes, a gentle pause in your week to reflect, realign, and reconnect in midlife. It’s not just another newsletter; it’s an intimate circle where I offer fresh intentions, soulful prompts, and simple but powerful shifts to inspire purposeful, creative living. Together, we’ll uncover the small but meaningful changes that help you design a life that feels beautifully your own.
