In a noisy world, finding moments of stillness can feel like a superpower. When we quiet the external chatter and the internal monologue, we open ourselves up to deeper insights. What do you discover when you embrace silence? #Spiritualhealth #Spirituality #Mindfulness #RamDass

Creating is more than just making something; it's about finding purpose, reducing stress, and finding balance in our lives. Whether you're an artist or not, creativity is a wonderful way to express yourself and connect with the world around you. #CreateMore #Creativity

Give yourself a break. You deserve it. Practicing self-compassion isn't about being easy on yourself; it's about treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a good friend. Accepting your imperfections is part of honoring your journey.

Rabih Alameddine's "An Unnecessary Woman" is a love letter to literature and the power of the written word. It's a funny, poignant, and beautiful meditation on aging, loneliness, and the rich inner life that books can provide. #anunnecessarywoman
