new piece posted today. ✨

i’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much of who we are comes from the people we’ve loved along the way.
the little things we carry without even realizing it.

songs that still feel like home.
recipes we still make the same way.
habits we never let go of.
comforts we didn’t discover on our own.
versions of ourselves that only existed because someone else was there during that part of our lives.

i wrote about all of that.

Winter has been slower this year. More reading. More writing. More rest. Coffee in the mornings. Sketchbook pages at night.

I haven’t been posting much here, but I’ve been living. Baking. Rearranging shelves. Keeping plants alive. Finding small crafts to fill the quiet hours. Travel journals for the blog are slowly taking shape.

Between quiet days at home and recent travels, this season feels less about going and more about becoming. Letting winter be gentle. 🤍

I’ve been a little MIA on here while I’ve been hiding from the cold and trying to find my creativity again. The shorter days and colder mornings have me moving slower, but maybe that’s not a bad thing. I’m learning to lean into this season instead of fighting it.

Lately my days have been full of writing, sorting through travel memories for my Global Getaways posts, and easing back into the things that make me feel like myself. I’ve been working on a few new pieces that feel honest and vulnerable, and today I finally felt ready to share one.

It’s a small poem about winter, rest, and meeting myself exactly where I am.
About letting the world dim without disappearing with it.
About breathing instead of blooming.

“you don’t have to bloom right now,
just breathe.” ❄️✨

You can read the full poem on my blog @ https://peaceofmindy.com/winter-finds-me-where-i-am/.

The days are shrinking again, and the sun slips away before I’m ready. Winter always arrives like a hush, cool hands on my shoulders, a soft reminder to slow my steps, to slip into the quiet I’ve been avoiding. I light a candle, wrap myself in blankets, watch the frost lace the windows, and some...
