I realized this week that one of my oldest coping strategies — laughing with my girlfriends — is something I haven’t made enough space for lately. Not polite laughter —...
Hello Reader, Lately, I’ve been sitting with this question:What still matters when everything feels fragile? I wrote a short reflection about staying grounded, simplifying, and returning to what truly matters during uncertain seasons. 👉 Read it here. If you’d like my Grounding Guide, just reply to this email with the word “GROUND” and I’ll send it to you. 🌿 Holding you gently, Andrea
Dear Reader, When life feels fragile—personally or collectively—something interesting happens. The noise falls away.The to-do lists lose their urgency.And we’re left face-to-face with a quieter question: What actually matters right now? Not in theory.Not someday.But in this season. Moments like these have a way of clarifying what’s essential. They remind us that meaning doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from tending to what’s already here.
