I truly believe in the power and value of small and authentic. I run wine tastings in a small family owned coffee shop and always choose small family-owned wine producers to present. It is always a much better price-quality ratio, than well recognisable brands (I am not talking about SHEINS of the wine world). And I see how much more people resonate to those real stories than marketing, especially if I've met the founders, if I know their stories, their . I was actually just thinking today about starting my Substack series called 'The Power of Small'
It goes without saying that the "things" I hold onto have a personal message that only I know, and yes I think about that person, story, or event as if it is a piece of a puzzle that when put together would be my life. This is the furthest thing from consumption. It is deeply important to trigger the parts of my life I hold close........Thanks for this reminder......and Happy New Year!!!

Yes yes exactly!!!
Sherri McMullen is a gem! Such beautifully curated stores. My favorite thing to do is visit boutiques and buy something beautiful traveling!

As usual, I agree with you. But I’m also trying to find a playlist that blends Chrises Stapleton and Isaac…
