When was the last time you felt this carefree?

Back in August we spent the day at an amusement park in New York (part of our summer family road trip) and I caught this moment of my little loves carefree, fearless, completely present, loving every moment on this swing ride. Pure joy, no second thoughts, just laughter in motion. The way we show up, curious, joyful, open, that’s what people feel. 💜

This video reminded me that trust isn’t about knowing what’s next…it’s about believing the moment will hold you. Often we complicate happiness, in life, in business, in everything. Sometimes, it’s just about showing up, letting go, and enjoying the ride.

What’s something simple that made you smile this week? 🌿👇

And wherever you are today — trust your swing. 💜

sometimes it feels like you have to hold onto so much to maintain your mental health. like if you don’t have 50 tabs open in your brain to help you remember what to do and when and why, you’ll lose your grip and it’ll all come tumbling down again - but simplicity is more important than remember

Scream For Us by Molly Doyle
4 star read. It felt only fitting to kick off 2025 with a tantalizing dark romance novella, and I couldn’t have been more right. Molly Doyle masterfully captures the essence of the spooky season. Quinn is all set for a carefree Halloween night when she is rescued by Ghost, who intervenes as a man t

A collage of four vintage photos of a young Dean Martin. It includes a childhood picture of him with another boy, and three portraits of him as a young man, dressed in suits and a tuxedo, smiling or looking thoughtfully.
Dean Martin's daughter finally spoke about what it was really like growing up with the "King of Cool"—and the man behind closed doors was nothing like his carefree image. For decades, Dean Martin played the role perfectly: the smooth crooner with a drink in hand, the effortless charmer

A person's arm displays a large tattoo featuring a cross, flowers, butterflies, and KAWS-like symbols. Below the cross, three dates are visible: 03/29/1961, 06/11/2022, and 07/25/2000. Text overlays read "Why I got a tattoo AT 18" and "SWIPE".
Did I get a tattoo too early ?..😕
I stared at the tattoo on my chest close to my shoulder , the one I’d gotten with such conviction five years ago. The ink that once seemed so vibrant now felt like a constant reminder of a chapter I’d closed. Back then, it represented freedom, rebellion, and a carefree spirit. But now, it felt like
