Hello friends and family,

And we are back. First, the biggest apology to you all for dropping off from this newsletter; life happened, and this became the last task on the priority list. Also, to be completely honest, I did not have the energy to write and curate this from a good place.

So I took a pause and kept it on the list for the time was right. I am very happy to announce that the time has come. I am bringing this back with new energy, a realigned focus, and some solid inspiration for all of us.

But anyway …how are you?

I hope this year has started with some good vibes, great people, and good projects.

Here is a quick update on the direction of this newsletter, and you can choose to continue the adventure with me.

I started this in the pandemic, during what feels like a lifetime ago. 5 years to be exact, and kept it going consistently for about 4 years of those 5. Now I would love to continue, but at a different pace than before.

• This will now be a bi-weekly newsletter - which means you get it every 2 weeks.

This will give me space to search for new inspiration and write from a place of calm. (The theme of my year is peace and a calm nervous system - which means that everything I do needs to align with this - currently I am doing a lot)  

The art section will change - after 4 years of searching for art to share, I want to take it back to a space of freedom. A space where I can enjoy it without needing a purpose. (Of course, if I find something amazing, I will share it here, but if you were staying for just the art, it will not always be here - please continue to search and fill your life with art on your side)

I find that it’s important to relook at why you do the things you do and to also see if it still aligns. This year I want to move with more intention in the work I do, the relationships I deepen and create, and also with the use of my words and time.

• At the end of 2025, I made a list of everything I wanted to scale down on. With each one, I asked if this is something that still aligns. If it were - what would it look like in 2026? If it wasn’t, it was cut out. I have a limited time on earth, and the direction is intentional living.

Remember, we are just moving one tiny step forward to curating a life you love. 

🤙🏾 Inspired by …

What’s your theme for the year? Mine is peace, but learning is in the foundation. This is one of my recent favourite YouTube channels; he breaks down systems for everything he does, which helps me find new ways of doing things.

Next, I am sharing one of my favourite humans with you for some inspiration for life in 2026. Mo Gawdat is someone whom I have listened to for years, and his story on moving through grief resonates with me.

Each newsletter will have a bit more inspiration and more variety to hopefully cover something that you find interesting.

🎶 Song of the week

Over the last 6 months, I entered a new phase of life, one that included great sets, live music, and full albums. My music appreciation has reached a whole new level, maybe it’s the getting older or the fact that I am surrounded by spaces to listen to a better mix of music. Either way, this is what I would love to share with you.

Music for your soul. Grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and enjoy this one.
