This was such a comforting read and gave me the kick in the butt I needed to start decluttering. I vow to do one part of my home a week!

Julia, I resonated with a lot of these! My winter has been very restorative and consistent with pursuing my goals but not in a New Years Resolution, hustle & grind kind of way. I've rediscovered my love for word searches, actually renting and reading books that have been on my library list for a while AND tried out more involved recipes. Winter is SUCH a prime time for hikes and synching your circadian rhythm back up, too!

Learning how to winter changed my life! It’s definitely a learned practice, especially after growing up in a desert climate.
