How do you say goodbye to someone you love?

August 28, 2023November 11, 2023 The Chic Dogs

You don’t. You simply hold them close to your heart, give them a kiss on the nose and you say: ‘This is not goodbye.This is see you later my darling.’ My Milly, my beautiful girl with the most mesmerizing eyes. My wild child. You came into our lives…

Inspiring you to create a soft and nourishing life!

Being honest with yourself about who you are, what Being honest with yourself about who you are, what you want and what you need in order to thrive... is crucial when creating an intentional life for yourself.

Agency and self-awareness are key ingredients.

Because only then will you be fully alive in the world you've consciously created for yourself, rather than quietly disappearing into a world you're trying to conform to.

It's hydrangea season in and around the house and It's hydrangea season in and around the house and as you can see, they are loving all this rain we've been having.

Hydrangea season will always remind of beautiful Cape Cod.

A soft life in full bloom. Not loud or ostentatio A soft life in full bloom.

Not loud or ostentatious.
Instead, it is slow, deeply nourishing to the mind and enchanting to the soul.

It's a life where beauty is found in the mundane, in the seemingly small everyday moments. 
It's a life that demands awareness and a willingness to focus your lens on the light, on beauty.

It's the scent of warm coffee and freshly baked  croissants on a morning in Paris, the quiet companionship of beloved dogs curled up at your feet, the velvety softness of rose petals from the garden, the spark of inspiration after opening a book...

It's choosing beauty, over and over again no matter how loud or how dark the world gets.

This is defiance.
