Gorgeous invitation, Lyndsay. I think I’ll do this today since I’m fully leaning into winter now. Feels like a sparkly way to gently welcome the festive season ✨

How beautiful.... this is such a soulful invitation. I love John O Donahues words too... I’ll have to ponder on this one. Feeling fully stocked, cosy and clean at home will go some way to helping me feel ready to stop I think...

Oh John O’Donohue! I so love his words and wisdom. His words on slow time and beauty & homecoming have been hugely influential to me. So happy to hear you will take some time to ponder and yes to cosy, clean and stocked! Getting there with the cosiness, very much behind on the other two...! xx

So beautiful, a fire is called a HEARTh for a reason and what a wonderful ritual to invoke warmth in our hearts and homes ❤️

I’m lucky enough to have an open fire in my home but sadly this is the last winter I’ll be spending in it due to a separation. I adore this house and would love to use this ritual to show my appreciation for it and wish it well in the future

oh Lauren that is such a gift! We used to have one and now we have a woodburner, which was the first thing I bought with the PROFIT from my business. I felt such pride and still do! I will be using it to perform the ritual too xx
