My favorite part of this post is the top 5 sub stacks posts and the excerpt from each of them. I love a trip down memory lane. I also love looking at photos. My friend Gary often reminds me of when I kept a basket full of photos on the end table in my living room. I would spend time just flipping through them. He said I watched photos the way others watch TV.
My rituals and routines are about letting things go and calling things in. I do this frequently - with the moon (at the full moon) and with the seasons (equinoxes and solstices.) I'm almost always calling in more nature, more time outside. Right now I'm calling in more in person connecting and more conversation with thoughtful, intelligent women - a combination of the two would be ideal! :-)
I visited the core value list that you had linked. ( Kirk and I had done a similar exercise before Kacie was born, thinking about our joint core values that we wanted to instill in her. I'm sure we wrote it down and have it in a file folder somewhere!) It was easy for me to quickly identify kindness, love, peace, and community. If I picked a 5th it might be beauty, compassion, or humor.
So lovely to have this space to reflect with you! Thanks for writing!
Thanks for sharing, Lori! Your comment about the basket full of photos is inspiring. There are disadvantages to having most of our photos exist digitally these days. I ordered some prints recently, and it's SO nice to have actual photos. I'd like to do more of that. I like your framing of "letting things go and calling things in." Lovely. Happy 2024 and hope to talk soon!
Happy 2024!
