I like New Year’s resolutions. I know the whole thing can be exhausting and that it sometimes feels like a futile exercise, but there’s something about sitting down with a brand new, unmarked planner and setting intentions for the coming months that makes me absolutely, undeniably happy. With all the negative space where the Christmas decorations used to be and the big, open winter skies, January feels full of possibility. ⠀ ⠀ Doesn’t hurt that winter in Southern California is glorious, I suppose. That’s Kevin there, out on the rocks at Venice Beach. It’s all 70° and sunny here right now, so I’m rescheduling hibernation for July. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #californialiving #beachlifevibes #californiadreamin #california_igers #caligrammers #californiathroughmylens #losangeleslife #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic

For the first time ever, I chose a word of the year, and that word is: joy. I’m reminding myself in 2020 that joy doesn’t have to be a high bar. It can come in quiet moments as well as loud ones. It doesn’t have to be euphoria, just a flutter in the chest, a tug at the lips, a lifting feeling so slight it risks going unnoticed. I won’t let it go unnoticed. ⠀ ⠀ Do you choose a word of the year? What did you pick?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #embracingaslowerlife #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic #collectivelycreate #courageouscreative #seekinspirecreate #independentmaker #stylingmycreativity #wearethecreativeeconomy #createeveryday #2020wordoftheyear #2020joy

Happy #topnine day! My top nine photos from the past year look like business as usual, but of course, 2019 hasn’t been business-as-usual at all. I’d put it in my bottom 10% of years I’ve lived through. How was your 2019?

I commented on someone else’s post the other day that everything we post on Instagram shouldn’t have to be the Most Inspiring Post Ever. It’s perfectly fine to just talk about your day. Yesterday, my day involved walking down the Venice boardwalk and eating rosemary-salted fish and chips. What are you doing with borrowed time in between the holidays?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #embracingaslowerlife #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic #californialiving #beachlifevibes #californiadreamin #california_igers #caligrammers #californiathroughmylens #losangeleslife #doorsofinstagram #doorsofdistinction #doorsandwindows #doortrait⠀

Christmas Day is my favorite day of the year because it’s the only day in America when the eternal hum of commerce stops to take a minute. And even then, people are still working at movie theatres and restaurants, theme parks, and catering companies. Imagine living somewhere where business well and truly stopped one day a week, or even one day a month. My life needs more stopping. How about yours? ⠀ ⠀ (And this is neither here nor there, but I made some sugared cranberries, and they were delicious.)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #embracingaslowerlife #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic #aquietstyle #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #inspiremyinstagram #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #slowliving #livemoremagic #simpleandstill #ofsimplethings

Now is the time in Christmas when we eat. Happy holidays, everyone! (Swipe for video!)
