Meanwhile in the Archives: June Edition
Think of this as your ribbon-wrapped reading list for the month.
Hey friends,
Life lately has been full (equal parts hectic and shifting) and I’ve decided to press pause on writing new content for now. As much as I love sharing my heart with you here, this season is asking me to slow down, and make space to get acquainted with this new life in Charlotte and everything else that’s going on.
But! I’m not disappearing completely. I’ll be sending a monthly newsletter throughout the summer, featuring some of my favorite posts from the archives—pieces you may have missed or might want to revisit. I hope they meet you where you are.
If all goes well (and I think it will), I’ll be back to writing regularly in the fall. Until then, here’s a good way to keep reading.
With love,

Some seasons feel like standing still while everything shifts around you. This one’s for anyone trying to find their footing—even when the ground keeps moving.
