“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” ~ Mary Oliver

Find a cozy spot: a space within which you can perch undisturbed. Grab a pen. Snag your favourite notebook or journal. Because there’s something magical in pen to paper. Ink to canvas.

Return to them later: whenever you need a reset. A restart. A reminder.
apologize to your body.
