I’m wearing my husband’s old flannel shirt. The brushed cotton in deep olive-green and black squares is soft and loose on my body. I found it cleaning out the closet today… Maybe I’m just looking for the familiar...

Looking back at a month helps me plan ahead for the next. It’s both a practical exercise - getting organized! - but it also counts as self-care.

In this crumbling cottage, a summer house that welcomes us every year, that holds us during transitions. 

Three simple actions, that done daily, can nourish your body and mind.
