Dear Beautiful Souls,

As we step into the embrace of August, let us be reminded that this month holds the promise of a fresh start, a canvas upon which we can paint our dreams and desires. For each one of you, lovely souls seeking ease, peace, and a life of beauty, this is your time to shine like never before.

In a world that often rushes and demands more of us, we choose to take the road less traveled. We challenge modern stereotypes and the status quo because we know our worth, our strength, and our inherent power to create change. We are the seekers of peace and simplicity, finding joy in the little things, and basking in the beauty of life's gentle moments.

Some of us may be in late bloom and, just like August, that is a gift. Life unfolds at its own pace, and we embrace the journey with patience and grace. Remember, it's never too late to follow your passions and live your purpose fully. Allow the whispers of your heart to guide you, for therein lies your true calling.

As you pursue your elegant soft life and savor the art of slow living, may you find inspiration in the courage it takes to be true to yourself. Celebrate your uniqueness, for it is the source of your strength. Cultivate moments of stillness and reflection, for it is in the quietude of our souls that we discover our deepest desires.

Let August be a month of self-discovery, a time to nurture your dreams and aspirations. Surround yourself with positivity and like-minded souls who uplift and support your journey. Embrace the lessons that come your way, for they are stepping stones towards growth and self-awareness.

Above all, remember that you are deserving of a life that brings you joy, ease, and fulfillment. Break free from the chains of societal expectations and take ownership of your narrative. Forge ahead, knowing that you have the power to shape your destiny.

So, lovelies, step into August with open hearts and open minds. Embrace the grace that resides within you, for it is the foundation of your elegant soft life and slow living journey. Your presence and purpose matter in this world, and the path you carve will inspire generations to come.

Here's to an August filled with boundless possibilities and the unfolding of your dreams.

With love and admiration,

Modestly M.

"Self-care isn't always chocolate cake and trips to the spa. Sometimes, it's meal planning, going to bed early, or letting go of a bad friend. It's forgiving yourself for not meeting your own impossible standards, and understanding that you are worthy. Always. Self-care isn't just luxuries, but a means for survival."

What does it mean to curate a beautiful a life?

If I condense the complexities and exposition of this thought of living, it would mean to simply design a life you are happy living in. This is what it boils down to and this, I feel, is an excellent idea to contemplate as the year comes to an end and we look to the new year.

What do we need to do as the year comes to a close to design 2023. How will a happy life, a beautiful life blossom in the new year?
