What I loved this month: August 2021 edition

Last year, I noticed how my desire to accomplish things can prevent me from living in the moment. My goal for for 2021 was to be more present, so one of the reasons I love writing these monthly posts is the…

What I loved this month: July 2021 edition

What I loved this month: April 2021 edition

It’s almost May! I can hardly believe it – not just because it feels like I haven’t done much this year, but because the weather in Amsterdam is (expectedly) cold, rainy, and miserable. I’ve been doing much of the same…

What I loved this month: March 2021 edition

What I loved this month: February 2021 edition

What I loved this month: January 2021 edition

What I loved in 2020

We all feel like we’re missed out on this year. But this year also brought a lot of opportunities. Maybe 2020 altered your perspective for the better, or helped you find gratitude. Maybe this year helped you grow, or gave…
