Without @me_and_orla, I’m not sure what I’d be posting right now. But, because of her, I spent my morning crafting the perfect blue morning glory to complete my photo challenge rainbow. Kudos to those of you who are learning new languages and baking sourdough and perfecting your yoga poses during this pandemic. I’m writing down one goal a day and fitting it in between naps and books about demon-hunting soccer moms. ⠀ ⠀ #15minutemagic⠀ ⠀ #paperflowers #aquietstyle #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #inspiremyinstagram #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #slowliving #livemoremagic #simpleandstill #ofsimplethings #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #embracingaslowerlife #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic #theslowdowncollective ⠀

Hey, guess what, Phoebus? We’re indoor cats now, too! ⠀ ⠀ (And just because it bugs me, I feel compelled to say that that’s not jpeg artifacting. It’s the pattern of bricks in our alley!) ⠀ This photo brought to you by @me_and_orla’s #15minutemagic ⠀ ⠀ #aquietstyle #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #inspiremyinstagram #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #slowliving #livemoremagic #simpleandstill #ofsimplethings #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #embracingaslowerlife #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic #theslowdowncollective

California is on lockdown. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that LA County, where I live now, has almost twice the population of the whole state of Colorado. Part of me wants to move to a cabin in the woods and hide out until all this is over, but the rest is really grateful for all the infrastructure available in a city this size. Plus, my neighbor’s balcony is just over six feet from mine, so that makes it easy to confirm the continued presence of humanity. How radically has life changed for you in the past week? (BTW, this isn’t the view from my house. It’s the historic Avila Adobe, the oldest standing residence in Los Angeles.) ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #californialiving #californiadreamin #california_igers #caligrammers #californiathroughmylens #losangeleslife #socialdistancing #covid19 #saferathome

How are you all doing? How much has life changed where you are?⠀ ⠀ I’ll admit, my weekly routine isn’t really that different at all, though Hadden and Kevin are both schooling/working from home. I stay at home. I read. I write. I cook. That’s all the same. It feels different, though. The blog posts I had planned seem frivolous now, and the idea of growing a community around slow and joyful living feels like an idea for a different time. Or maybe not. Slow is the new normal and, as for joy, it comes in quiet moments too.

From back when I was still touching things not in my own house. How are y’all holding up?

Don’t worry, I’m not going to send you off to the blog or newsletter again (although, yes, I’m doing a lot there and really want you in on it). I’m just going to share the photo of the alley behind my house and note that spring has a way of making itself known, even when in places where the flowers bloom all winter. Any signs of spring where you live?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #aquietstyle #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #inspiremyinstagram #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #slowliving #livemoremagic #simpleandstill #ofsimplethings #slowlived #todaysgoodthing #quietchaotics #calmversation #tinytinymoments #inpraiseofslowness #smallmomentsofcalm #embracingaslowerlife #aslowmoment #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #noticingmagic #theslowdowncollective
