Happy Friday everyone.
I’ve got two favourite things to share with you today:

I couldn’t wait for the chance to finally get some new house plants once our renovation was finished. I’m really not a green fingers so am surprised that my 5 new plants are still alive 5 months in. Fingers crossed. These planters are by local ceramic artist Gala Collier. I love buying local and handmade when I can, and love the simplicity and beauty of these. I got the string of pearls plant from Plant & Pot, and Gala very kindly gave me a cutting of her chain of hearts. Bringing nature indoors really is happiness in a pot.
2. Essentialism by Greg McKeown
I’m all about what Greg has to say in this book, on how to discern what’s essential to our lives, and what’s not. I love this:
What if we stopped being oversold the value of having more and being undersold the value of having less? What if we stopped celebrating being busy as a measurement of importance? What if instead we celebrated how much time we had spent listening, pondering, meditating, and enjoying time with the most important people in our lives?
What if the whole world shifted from the undisciplined pursuit of more to the disciplined pursuit of less… only better?
Have a great weekend, and may it contain a little less busyness and a little more time to celebrate the moments with those who are important to you.
