The powerful summer solstice has come + gone. My work shifts into slow mode now. Vacation waits for me - it’s just two weeks away. Summer energy settles into my body + soul. I am downshifting… slowly starting to be a bit more in the moment. And I feel a deep pull to simply linger there. 🪷
So, partly inspired by the light + abundance + purifying fire of this solstice, and partly out of necessity - due to so much difficult change lately, I’ve decided to take a summer sabbatical. Beginning right now. ☀️
I am taking a long, much-needed break from social media until the autumn equinox on September 23/my 49th birthday on September 24. 🍁
I want to drop into these next few months and just linger there. My soul craves a deeper, simpler, more present, healing way of being. 🪬
I’m reclaiming me. Rediscovering me. Realigning me. Resetting me.
I’ll be here on my Substack writing, sharing photos, thoughts, music, and my slow living letters to subscribers (everything here is free + open to everyone). This is a space that promotes creativity and simplicity for me, so that’s why I want to stay active and connected here. It also feels a bit more genuine and real. 📝
Other than that, the rest of the summer + early autumn are just for me, my wife, and the people in our life. 🫶🏻
I’ll be reintroducing new + old spiritual practices into my daily life, setting aside time for writing + creating, sitting with all of my feels, soaking in inspiration from nature + food + art + cities, and setting off on what I believe is a new path forward. 🧘🏼♀️
Mostly, though, I’ll just be lingering in the moment. Spending time with myself. Unplugging. Going offline. And taking what I think will be a life-changing sabbatical. 🌲
I’m not taking time away from people, I’m just focusing on life in the real world instead of on my phone screen. I’m simply looking for real connection + time to create, and as I’ve said a few times now… time to linger. I’d love for you to linger with me all summer long. 🌻
Blessings for this season ahead, dear ones. I’ll be in touch soon. 😚
All my love. xoxo. liz.
