Hi friends, a short one this time, but I really wanted to share this with you. I found it at Atlas Obscura, one of my favorite websites for the unusual and enchanting. This piece by Anika Burgess was written in December 2017, but I’m just now seeing it. I’m so glad I did!

The thought, the text, the letters, the paintings—all just grabbed me, heartwise. I felt lifted for hours afterward. I hope it does the same for you.

If you’re busy with holiday stuff, feeling rushed and panicked, take a break. Right here. Right now.

I’ll see you soon. 💝
