Thank you, Issa. That means a lot—especially in times like these, when slowing down feels almost radical. I’m glad the words and visuals brought a little pause your way.

I’m so glad it landed gently with you, Chelsea. Here’s to slowing down without guilt, and finding presence in the pauses.

Beautiful and much needed love letter to slowing down!!! I need to print it all with helpful journal pages if they are available? Need to find my creative time space and drink less wine!!! Tea and/or being in nature with or without a sketchbook are both excellent rituals for me.

Thank you, Susie! I love the idea of this as a printed love letter—what a beautiful way to honor slow living. Tea, nature, and a sketchbook sound like soul-aligned companions on that path. Wishing you gentle space to rediscover your creative rhythm—one peaceful page, one breath at a time.

The song reminded me of a reel I posted a long time ago about this.

That’s such a beautiful connection, Issa. I don’t have Instagram, but I’m really touched that the song brought that reel to mind—it’s always special when old reflections resurface in new ways.
