If you joined us this year, thank you for becoming a subscriber. If you have been with us for years, thank you for your loyalty. Knowing that people are on the other side reading, liking and interacting with our posts keeps us going and reminds us of why we write. We hope that we can be a beacon of inspiration to people who are seeking a different way of living, one in alignment with earth-loving, peaceful, community-based, heart-centered values.
This year, we sent about fifty letters, guides, and slow living dispatches into your inbox, from muddy shoes to capitalist angst to tree talk. Some posts quietly made their way into your mornings, and others loudly exploded with shares, new subscribers, and loads of comments. These ten rose to the top, thanks to a mix of analytics, intuition and personal preference.
Pick one you missed, make something warm to drink, and read it all the way through. Which is your personal favorite? Did we miss one?

Slow Living
The last few posts reference everyday life: how you wake up, how you walk among trees, how you let a season imprint on your body instead of scrolling past it. Instead of leaving your life behind, you can shift how you live the life you have now.
