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!
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!

Learning how to winter changed my life! It’s definitely a learned practice, especially after growing up in a desert climate.
Where did you grow up?
Arizona! But up until 3 months ago, lived in Alaska for 11 years☃️
I really enjoyed reading this essay! Thanks for sharing the prompts; I found those most helpful. And I adore that pic of Sully being cozy in bed.
Sully winters better than anyone I know <3 thanks for your comment Monica!
Brilliant writing. Chimes with my thoughts. I also read Wintering recently and I love the whole concept!
It’s such a good read!
Thank you! I feel drawn to
Wintering now, not only work work work the darkness and cold away.
I have worked away many winters but this year I am trying something different and it feels really nice :)
Such a great perspective, thank you!
