Simple things. But they settle me.
Order—however humble—is an anchor. Not a rigid one, but a quiet kind. It whispers, you’re safe here. You belong here.
What does order look like in your day?
There’s the physical kind—like knowing where your cup lives.
And then there’s the mental kind—the soft knowing of who matters, what deserves your energy, and what no longer belongs in the front row of your life.
I’ve found that order is one of the secret ingredients to a simpler, more peaceful life. It lets me show up with a little more ease, a little less noise.
Where are you craving more order—your home, your mind, or maybe both?

If that speaks to something in you, I’d love to tell you more.
Still here,
Carolyn
