There’s something sacred about a Southern Sunday. Not the hustle, not the “catch up before Monday” kind—but the kind that reminds you how full life feels when it’s simple.
This morning, I sat on the porch with a glass of tea and listened: the soft creak of the swing, the cicadas humming in the trees, and a stillness that only shows up when we slow down long enough to notice.
It made me think about the beauty of taking things slow—how the best things in life, the ones that really stick, are the ones that aren’t rushed.
Biscuits from scratch. Blooming hydrangeas. A table set with intention.
They take time. And that’s what makes them worth it.
In a world that’s constantly telling us to go faster, I’m learning to find joy in slowing down. To choose presence over pressure. And to remember that peace often comes in the pause—not the productivity.
So here’s your gentle reminder, friend:
Let today be soft. Let it be simple. Let it be enough.
From my porch to yours,
💙 Ashton
