Happy Full Moon
It’s Friday the 13th, a full moon (called the micromoon), and Mom’s 75th birthday! Whew, lots wrapped into one day.
Full moons feel magical. I’ve been paying closer attention to the moon shifts over the past year and am consistently mesmerized by the light of a full moon.
They represent a time for harvest and closure. A journal prompt that I recommend in my latest books is “I release . . .” What is it that you’d like to release?
Pause. Step outside tonight. Notice the bright ball in the sky. Hug a loved one closely. Try one of these rituals. Let something go.
See you Sunday for TDJ Live as we celebrate the season’s transitions! Bisous. x

TDJ Live THIS Sunday
Dearest,
Can I just tell you how excited I am about Sunday? Gizmo, too, he’ll be donning his pink polka-dot bow tie!
Seasonally we gather as a community to connect, learn new tranquility tools, and share inspiration surrounding the new time of year. TDJ Live is a free gathering and it wouldn’t be the same without you.
It’s our last TDJ Live of 2019 and I’ve got lots to share as we move into our final quarter.
You can register here and you’ll be given log in information to access a private page with the link to click at 8pm Sunday, along with more resources.
On Friday, look for the addition of the TDJ Live workbook PDF on your private page! Never fear, I’ll send reminders to registrants.
Gather your journal, a libation, and markers. Also, if you have them, keep your Daybook or Year of Tranquility nearby.
See you soon and can’t wait to connect!
Love,
Kimberly

Dreaming
After an 8.5-hour flight, the wheels touched down in DC Wednesday night signaling the end of my Paris adventure. While away, I found myself lost in the senses: eight hours of jazz, 42 miles of walking, 12 pots of tea, countless cheese-free pizzas, three meet ups with friends, a carousel ride, and more.
Before I left last week, I did all the preparations possible to help with really being away. Not the kind of away where we’re still in constant connection to our digital devices, but away away.
I recorded these videos, let people know I was (mostly) unavailable, organized my to-do list for return and, while away, checked email only on occasion, and toted a mini art journal around town versus my planner. That helped keep me out of ongoing planning mode (it’s a favorite pastime) to stay more in the moment.
Up at 5:30am (perk of jet lag) yesterday and at the office until late, surprisingly despite taking six days off, I feel on top of things. By doing that prep work before leaving and regrouping on the flight back, I’ve fooled that post-vacay overwhelm feeling. Whew!
While sipping one of those many pots of tea, I set aside time to reflect in my mini art journal at a sidewalk café. It’s helpful to take stock as we move into the finale of 2019. Although the year is far from over, we have over 100 days left to make meaning and, similar to how I left for Paris, set the stage for what’s next.
Together we’ll be doing this in Tranquility Salon Online and registration opens THIS weekend. Be the first to know by joining the waitlist. I can’t wait to connect with you in this way!
May we continue to live our lives in a way that reflects our values and intentions to avoid that “rinse and repeat” feeling of all days seeming the same. We deserve tranquility even when the dogs are barking, babies are crying, bosses are demanding, and phones are blowing up. Especially then!
I believe tranquility is found in those moments in between and setting time aside to pause helps get us there. Bisous. x

Bonjour from Paris! Before I head to the airport, I wanted to share these three videos I recorded last week before leaving for the City of Light.

Over the past four days, I’ve . . . practiced flâneurie for 30 miles, spent two fun days with Tim’s cousin, browsed books at Shakespeare & Company, savored the views at Jardin de Luxembourg, ridden a carousel, visited a haunted house, taken a 3-hour sketching class, enjoyed an afternoon with friends, walked the 270 steps up to Sacre Coeur, toured the Palais Garnier, eaten lots of pizza sans cheese, sipped green juice and rose lattes at Wild & the Moon, consumed many pots of thé vert à la menthe, and listened to live jazz for SIX hours at 38Riv.
