As we near the end of the year, I want to thank you once more for following Smuggling Grace. Thank you for connecting with content here and also sharing your own thoughts and reflections in comments. It means a great deal to me, and I have great gratitude for your presence.
I enjoy creating content here. I also hope to cull and curate content as well. So in 2024, posts will move in these directions:
— On Sundays, I will continue share nature photography. Alongside it, I want to extend an invitation for all of us to slow down and notice the beauty around us, wherever we live or travel.
— On Mondays, I will share content with a mental health focus. Over the last few years, I have done a deep dive into learning about trauma, healing through mind/body connections, attachment styles in relationships, family systems theory, mindfulness, and the power of social connections to ease isolation, depression, anxiety, and more. Alongside my own thoughts, I want to share resources. I will share videos, links, and quotes that may be helpful.
— On Tuesdays through Fridays, I will share my own written reflections, continuing to notice moments of meaning, beauty, and delight in daily life. After all, this blog is about smuggling such moments to our awareness and letting them impact us.
— On Saturdays, I will share an invitation to learn what I will call — for lack of a better term — neato curiosities. I’ll share my best smatterings of learning through podcast episodes, books, YouTube videos, and you name it. These are basically opportunities to share what has captured my interest, and I’ll invite you along with me.
