How did your drawer go? I did two drawers, the pantry, two shelves and a box to Goodwill. I have no idea what half of it was. Felt very good, and I hope you feel a little lighter too.
One thing. A few of you have said the three pages are hard. Start with one. It counts.
And some of you were told a long time ago that your writing wasn't good enough. If that voice turns up, put it on the page. Be kinder to the girl who heard it than anyone was to her at the time.
I'm going to push back gently, though. If it's fear, that's exactly the thing we're here to get out of your life. Nobody sees these pages. Ever. Burn them afterwards if that's what it takes.

Blacks, greys, taupes. The colours that ask nothing of anyone, including you.
When did blending in become the entire strategy?
This is not really about your wardrobe. It might start there.
THE QUESTION
Is your colour palette playing it safe?
THE QUEST
Go somewhere with beautiful things. A shop, a market, a boutique. Try on one thing in a colour or a cut you would never reach for. Notice everything that happens in your body when you do.

THE RHYTHM
🌅 Ten minutes of quiet before your phone
📓 Three pages of whatever falls out
🚶♀️ Ten minutes of moving, outside if you can
🌙 Ten minutes of quiet before bed
📵 Less news, less scrolling
In love, light and laughter,
Karen
