Life Lately: Winter 2022

So far, I’ve kept good on my intention this year of being present, patient and intentional. And from that, the days are seeming to go by slower; a good thing. As I always feel the want to grasp for more.

It feels as though I might just have enough though— if I immerse myself in the now.

Here’s a snapshot of what my now looks like lately…
