Yes to all of this. I really get it. Moving to Europe shifted a lot for me too, but we live in a very rural area so food production and storage is really important still. My parents moved to Trieste, Italy, where they can get their daily bread and butcher cuts, and while I love our wild life, sometimes I really would prefer to not do it all myself. There’s a different cadence to city/town living and more social interaction for sure.

I think I operate sometimes out of a fear of scarcity, which is a good motivator but perhaps not the best mindset to be in. When I’m in Italy, all I sense is abundance and celebration, even in the smallest things.

Beautiful, thoughtful words, as usual. Thank you. ❤️

I needed to hear this SO badly today. With 6 kids, I feel like I am drowning. But if I create some good consistent habits that I do daily I feel like I’ll be able to manage! I don’t need yo get all the laundry done in 1 day, it’s ok to get 1 load done each day. It will definitely be a mental shift I’ll need to make but it’s time to do it! Thank you for sharing!!
