Oh I love this Jillian and hugely relate to the challenges you describe, as my daughter comes to the end of her primary school (elementary) journey. It's a LOT. My own could do list got something ticked off it today - take a swim in an outdoor pool before the UK heatwave wears off! It was wonderful and restorative.

That is so wonderful, Louise! We are having a heatwave here as well in the US. I didn't have a swim today since I was at work, but I did get ice cream!

Just as good as a dip!

Love this (and love seeing my journal in your pics! 😍) and I think you and I both did a list of 'Summer of Simple pleasures' last year, didn't we? So simple and so surprisingly powerful when you break it down into the little things and take the pressure off! Keeping our cups full in a fast-paced world isn't always easy - reminders like this post really help, so thank you! x

Love these Jillian, it is so important to connect to what we truly want 💞 it is so easy just to keep going and not listen to our hearts.

I think, walking on the beach bare foot in the sea, and a 99 ice creamer cone and berry and sunflower picking 🍦 🌊🌻🍓

Loved all these ideas... it's re-enthused me for the sunny days and it's torrential rain today.
