holiday reads + such

First of all I want to let you know how grateful I am for you. I am grateful to know that I am not alone in this exploration of + journey toward more compassionate + just habits. Thanksgiving is a lovely reminder to pause + revel in enough, abundance, and the opportunity to be generous.

And then...Black Friday. I think that most of us are aware of its ironic calendar placement. It mirrors the cycle of my unfortunate default mindset...recognition of enough, a short attempt at gratitude, + then a free-fall into wantiness + greed (even if it is only wantiness in regard to having the best gifts to give). I'm making an attempt to keep my spirit firmly planted in the spirit of gratitude + compassion today. 

"I think about more than clothes these days. I think about what is sustainable. I think about impact. I think about responsibility. I think about what is too much."
"Instead of trying to change everybody, we start with ourselves."
The lives behind the label.
"We don't have to continue holiday traditions that leave us broke, overwhelmed, or tired."
Restful + gorgeous...and how little is necessary.
​For a ride that's a little less sweaty...when you want it.
Every purchase communicates our values in so many ways.

Love, 
Jane
