New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
I want this year to teach you that you're allowed to take up exactly as much space as you need.
May the day arrive softly and stay long enough to feel chosen.
Happy birthday to the person whose presence rearranges rooms in the best way.
Wishing you a year of clean rest, honest people, and the right kind of weather.
May this birthday be the start of saying yes faster and no without footnotes.
