I wasn't sure I was going to write a Glimmers email this week. It's been a difficult week, and if I'm honest, I didn't really feel like finding five lovely things to share with you. Everything felt a little too much.

One thing I've been thinking about this week is how life is constantly asking us to let go of one thing so something new can find its way in. Sometimes that's a difficult goodbye. Sometimes it's simply trying a different routine, meeting new people or saying yes to a small change that ends up feeling just right. There can be sadness and gratitude sitting side by side, and somehow they both make the ordinary moments shine a little brighter. Here are a few of the glimmers that found me this

I've noticed something this week. Every one of my glimmers seemed to carry the same quiet thread running through them... hope. Not the loud, dramatic kind, but the gentle reminders that beauty, kindness and possibility are still all around us. Sometimes they're found in extraordinary moments, and sometimes they're as simple as a roast potato or climbing into a warm bed at the end of the day. Whatever form they take, I hope these five glimmers help you notice a few of your own this week.
