Welcome to The Simple + Slow, a curated space dedicated to intentional living and the art of unearthing beauty in the everyday.
In a world enamored by better + more, I believe there is gold to be found in a life settled in the beauty of enough. Even decluttering can become a hurried task, trying to achieve the ideal amount of things, striving to a contrived state of peace. I’ve held both extremes. A deep longing for more to fill a hole of contentment. A hurried need for less, to quiet the internal noise I tried to avoid.
The Simple + Slow is a space for becoming.
This space, in essence, is an invitation to my own process, and what flows through me, season to season. My hope is that you’ll find inspiration for your everyday life, and craft your own beautiful reality. You’ll likely find many topics here, usually whatever is inspiring or exciting me as of late. May you find rest here, and encouragement for your journey.
A MANIFESTO FOR LIVING WELL
In an age of more, faster and better, let us find a necessary resistance in the restfulness of less. When the needs of each day claim our hours, may our hearts be contented with what is present in the here + now. May the simplest of to-do’s feel sacred and holy, prompting a heart leaned into the beautiful mundane. In a world of chaos and noise, may simple homes be havens of peace. Let kitchen tables be marked by dozens of meals shared, hearts connected, no matter the menu. Let our bodies manifest the wholeness of cultivated peace, a slow life bringing nourishment to bones weary of keeping up. May we be ones who find deep fulfillment in a path less traveled. Leaning in. Letting go. Choosing presence. Living slow.
