Embrace the joy of missing out MinimalistSelf Love

Embrace the joy of missing out

JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) Oh the joy of missing out.  When the world begins to shout And rush towards that shining thing; The latest bit of mental bling – Trying to have it, see it, do it, You simply know you won't go through it; The anxious clamouring and need This restless hungry thing to feed. Instead, you feel the loveliness; The pleasure of your emptiness. You spurn the treasure on the shelf In favour of…

Create Christmas traditions that really matter

5 reasons you should give experiences as gifts this Christmas The kids rip through the wrapping paper at lightning speed, not slowing down for long enough to enjoy the gift before moving onto the next.
