These little ones have grown so much! They’re making me feel brave enough to add more plant babies to the Dream Stream family. Let me know if you have any low light, indoor plants you love! #succulentlove #plantig #tinyliving #vintageairstream #plantbabies

2 weeks solo and countless more on the horizon. It’s felt pretty daunting lately and there have been lots of tears. Missing someone you love is something you can’t shake no matter how much you distract yourself, and to be honest, why would you want to? Their absence is also a reminder of how big their love is.⠀ ⠀ I know so many courageous individuals who still shine despite the sadness, loneliness, trauma or anxiety they carry. We all experience these things to some degree, but we continue to love and have the capacity to feel wonder and joy with each sunrise. And sometimes, I think we feel a deeper joy because of knowing its counterpart sadness, too. How would we know light without the dark?⠀ ⠀ Sending so much love today and hoping we all keep seeking out the good, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. ❤️#mentalhealthawareness

“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anyone but oneself.” - Virginia Woolf #morningwalks #bookquote #virginiawoolf #flowergram #morninglight #optoutside #slowliving #littlemoments #liveslow #minimalismmonday #writerscommunity #motivationalmonday

“The true essence of things is invisible to the eyes...Our sensory organs love to lead us astray, and eyes are the most deceptive of all. We rely too heavily on them. We believe that we see the world around us, and yet it is only the surface that we perceive. We must learn to divine the true nature of things, their substance, and the eyes are rather a hindrance than a help in that regard. They distract us. We love to be dazzled. A person who relies too heavily on his eyes neglects his other senses--and I mean more than his hearing or sense of smell. I'm talking about the organ within us for which we have no name. Let us call it the compass of the heart.” - The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, Jan-Philipp Sendker⠀ ⠀ I bought this book because I was drawn to the title and cover, which isn’t something I often do. It’s a beautiful tale of unconditional love and family, and even though it has a slow storyline, I was invested enough to follow it to the end. It was one of those little books I couldn’t help but love for its simplicity. Plus I was in need of a heartwarming, feel-good read.

Since I was a little girl, I have loved old screened doors. There’s something familiar in hearing a screen door opening and closing... at my great grandparents they always ushered in good company, cool breezes and the sound of summer rains. I feel pretty lucky to have this old one of my own and cool mornings to take it in. 💛⠀ ⠀ #myseasonaljournal #vintageairstream #tinyhouse #minimallife #rvlifestyle #seeksimplicity #posttheordinary #homegrams #simplepleasures #airstreamreno #renolife #slowliving #writersofig #myviewfromhere #slowsunday #vintagevibes #writer #nostalgia

Grateful. ⠀ That is all. 💖
