Hello Delightful You,
How are you, my friend? I’m thinking of you today and sending big love your way.
I’m also sending a small, simple reminder for a practice that will bring you a sense of peace and joy.
Do you remember me telling you about the Sparkle Stroll? It may have been a couple years ago that I last talked about it, but it is a practice I do all the time.
A Sparkle Stroll is simple this: You step outside and set the intention to see at least ten beautiful things.
That’s it!
Well, I mean, you do gotta walk around the block or pause in the park. But it is a super easy way to give you mind and senses something lovely to focus on.
Will you try it today?

One of my favorite quotes is by Bill Cunningham: “Those who seek beauty are sure to find it.”

When I stepped out for a Sparkle Stroll, here’s what I found:
- Fuchsia flowers.
- The way the leaves on the tree looked like they were waving at me.
- A woman in a red hat walking three tiny dogs.
- A wave from a mom on a bike and her little daughter in the back cart-thingie. Their colorful bicycle helmets looked like bird crowns.
- An elderly gentleman, slightly bent over, sweeping the sidewalk. How he nodded to me, the slightest smile when I greeted him.
- The wide sky over there, in the distance.
- The caw-caw of a crow I named “Merrily.”
- Big cactus that looked like small monsters.
- How the tiny houses looked like a necklace on that far-away hill.
- The dirty spots on the sidewalk, from gum or other smashed trash reminded me of when my son was two and said, “Look mommy, polkie dots!”
💥💓💥
There is so much heartache in the world right now, I encourage you to find a slice of time to connect with whatever beauty speaks to you.
Celebration is waiting for us, just outside the door.
I love you and am cheering you on, always.
Thanks for who you are.
Now, take a stroll and feed your soul.
Seek celebration — even in the dark corners,
