Ruth’s Round-Up

Hi Everyone,
Rach is away for the next two weeks, so I will be taking over editorial duties until her return.
The weather has been crazy recently, and as a Brit, I'm no stranger to the rain, but the tropical storms are still something I am getting used to.
That said, there is something incredibly calming about sitting indoors, listening to the rain, and watching the lightning. It's a simple pleasure that helps me slow down, stay in the present moment and make time for my housemates. At the same time, it gives me a chance to be productive on tasks that I have been putting off.
I believe the art of slowing down is essential in a world that’s constantly moving at a fast pace. Taking the time to slow down allows me to clear my mind, find clarity, and make more thoughtful decisions.
Lately, I’ve really been appreciating my time at the gym and in yoga, especially Yin Yoga. Yin encourages you to slow down intentionally, as the practice is extremely slow-paced.
Each session leaves me feeling lighter, and deeply grateful for where I am, and for the people around me. It's become a reminder of the importance of pausing, reflecting, and embracing gratitude.
This week, I’ve realised how much I appreciate sitting with my housemates, Ricki and Eleanor, on our balcony, watching the storms.
I truly think that you can never be too grateful, even for the little things.
Ruth
