daily light

Last week I was talking to my new friend @urbanpaths, who is a walking coach: a life coach who incorporates walking in her coaching sessions (brilliant, right?). She was telling me all the benefits of a walking practice - not just physical, but emotional and spiritual, as well.

I used to have an avid walking practice, but the upheaval of the past year caused me to put it on the back burner - big mistake it turns out. So after speaking with Laura, I’ve returned.

It’s good to be back. ✨🚶🏾‍♀️❤️

Marcus and I just got back from doing a final clean of the apartment, and turning in the keys.

I’m surprising myself by feeling a little sad. Thanks, little apartment. You were literally a lovely little refuge from the storm. ✨

The good news: the pod is finally empty!

The bad news: the garage isn’t. 😳

Still, I’m feeling much better: the house is just about ready to receive houseguests, and tomorrow I go over to the apartment to clean it and turn in the keys. Sunday night we might even decorate for Christmas.

And my office has twinkle lights and #makelight reminders, so it’s all good.
Happy Friday, friends. May the weekend be filled with peace and light. ✨

Client meeting today, and for the first time in what seems like weeks, I really thought about getting dressed. I reflected on all my learnings from
@stasiasavasuk’s style school, and pulled out power colours, played with accessories, and stood in front of my new full length mirror (I’ve never had one before in my adult life, can you imagine?), and got dressed. And after weeks of feeling overwhelmed, today I feel strong - even though my to-do list hasn’t gotten appreciably shorter.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how colour and aesthetic can have a profound influence on mood and confidence and productivity - in home decor, in clothing, in everything. I’m not sure why I’ve not noticed it before, but colour’s effects are downright palpable.

So today’s mood-boosting advice? Get dressed today. Like, put on your favourite colours, accessories, makeup - don’t worry whether they “go,” or if today’s a special enough day. Just do it.

After my meeting today, I have to do more moving and unpacking. And I’m not changing clothes, either. ✨
