Sometimes I get to remember what I already have and how whole I already am. It’s easy to look at pretty pictures and shiny new items and to think that we may need any of that to feel complete. It’s easy to feel desire. But all these things are just our own feelings that belong…

My sustainable clothing journey
For years I’ve been on a personal journey towards more sustainable clothing in my wardrobe, and I’ve been writing about it here on this blog. Admittedly, writing about it feels a bit silly, but I do it because I know I’m not the only one on this journey. I believe all clothing wearing humans face…
