Love this- the beauty in the small sometimes seemingly mundane moments. I feel more grounded having read it. Agree about feeling more at home in the downward spiral of autumn. And definitely pausing around solstice- not pushing in the heat- no thanks! Look forward to hear about the new idea you’re birthing. We are a similar age (I turned 42 in March) and I feel there are definitely common themes that come up in these years- especially for us millennials - picking stories apart from our 20s/30s 😵‍💫. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

I love everything you write. This was so beautiful. I also resonated so deeply with the idea of these markers of the year as times to pause rather than force or push ourselves to do "whatever we're supposed to be doing!" on these days! Sending so much love your way. xx

I loved this Lauren, I was there with you and loved all of your observations of this time. It felt like such a deeply familiar experience of our summer after school afternoons, both the giggles and the shouting…! I am so glad that the pause reminder landed and feels helpful and I am so excited about how your dreams and path is unfolding one step at a time xx
