Glimmery Moments
A seasonal guide to experiencing more of everyday life, one season at a time
We tend to remember life through its highlights. Birthdays, holidays, celebrations, the days we planned for and the moments we knew would matter.
But most of life happens somewhere in between.
On the way to work. Around the kitchen table. With the people we spend our ordinary days with. Following the seasons gives us a way to notice more of these moments as the year unfolds. The changing light, what is growing, what we cook, where we go and what becomes part of our everyday life.
These small observations help us experience more of the life happening around us. When we write some of them down, collect them or share them, they also become a record of our lives within the changing year.
This is what The Calmer Year is for. Through things to notice, seasonal food, places to visit, writing and simple activities, it gives you ways to take part in the season while it is happening. What we notice and experience is more likely to become something we remember. Over time, those memories become part of our personal stories, relationships, traditions and sense of where we belong.
