It's summertime in NYC! I'm exploring the changing seasons in New York, as Central Park transitions from spring to summer. My cherished cherry blossom trees, vast array of birds, and wild mushrooms keep me company. From that beautiful spaciousness, I’ve dived into spring cleaning. In this episode, I explore:
- The beauty, wonder, and sensory pleasures of NYC’s Central Park in Spring (through a mindful eye)
- Practical minimalism and the positive effects of spring cleaning
- Handling grief while going through a loved one's things
- Paring things down and having gratitude for what’s left
Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.
