Just dropped a new Substack all about glimmers, a simple way to find magic in the ordinary. In a world where stress is as common as forgotten passwords, “glimmers” have emerged as a nice gentle antidote. Think of glimmers as the opposite of triggers—they’re those fleeting, often overlooked moments that spark joy, happiness, calm, gratitude and connection. Tiny flashes of light that reduce stress in the middle of our overly caffeinated, perpetually overwhelmed lives. It’s the smell of your fresh coffee brewing, the feel of sunshine on your skin, a hummingbird outside your window, your favorite song coming on, or the sound of your children laughing. If triggers are the emotional equivalent of a cold shower (not the wellness ritual kind but the kind when the hot water is out), glimmers are like someone handing you a cup of tea and wrapping you in a blanket, they’re little life rafts for our nervous system. And here’s where it gets good: glimmers are everywhere, waiting for you to notice them. What are yours? Drop them in the comments — let’s build a little library of joy together. ✨ A few of mine: the way sunlight fills my girls’ hair while we play outside, the way my favorite cozy slippers feel on my feet when I slip them on, Jack’s belly laugh. Read more about glimmers, who coined the term and how to find more of them over on The In-Between. 💌
