I'll admit, the title of this newsletter made me a little nervous when opening it! Your tech cleanse, even for a few hours a day/night is such a game changer in the never-ending quest for serenity.
Sober summer recs: a movie in a theatre with plush comfy seats. Kayaking if available, taking a plunge into the icy Atlantic. Swimming laps in a pool or cannonballing into the lake. Escape reading. A hike in the woods. And always, writing always makes me feel better, even if I think I don't want to. Kind of like a meeting...
Wow, LD, just wow. When I first got to know you through LWS I had no idea you were fairly new to sobriety. I love your vulnerability when you share about this, and I love and respect the path you are on. You amaze me! I loved your set when you rehearsed it at Open Mic last week and I'm sure you were badass in the live show this week. I only wish you were coming further east in your summer travels but... we will meet IRL eventually. 👏🏼❤️ XO
Such serenity from your morning routine... I've been waking with the dawn chorus recently by chance and I love those seconds where it's just me, in a bed, listening to the birds, without anything else... and then I reach for my phone and ruin it all. You inspire me to change this! ❤️❤️
Fourteen months is amazing! I was inspired by so much of this email. I am also trying to offer myself mornings without my phone- it's amazing how it entices me in. Re sober summer recs; not an activity as such but I love coming up with really interesting mocktail recipes that bring me joy. Ginger and cardamom are often in there somewhere. Also ecstatic dance changed my life! 11am sober dance parties on Sundays, yes please!
