Year of Tranquility

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom. —Anaïs Nin

Year of Tranquility: A Lifestyle Planner is the marriage of a big picture planner with 12 months of deep diving into a variety of topics such as mindfulness, style, creativity, meaning, dreams, love, and more.

Filled with 48 practices that gently nudge us toward making choices that soothe rather than stress, this book serves is as a tool for self-discovery and meaning-making through the year ahead. Follow the moon’s cycles and move through the seasons with intention and ease.

Muse in the pink dotted spaces, try the six plant-based recipes, and browse the Savvy Sources that include books, apps, and Tranquility du Jour podcasts.

Although it’s set up to start in January, you can begin anytime and journey through this 12-month program at your own pace. Note what piques your curiosity.

After the 32 Tranquility Tools, initial planning lists, time and money trackers, and lifestyle ideas, you’ll find 12 essays followed by four suggested weekly practices that align with the month’s themes.

Year of Tranquility is filled with suggested practices from my two decades of entrepreneurial and mindfulness experience, blended with my study of positive psychology and journal therapy, and work as a psychotherapist and designer. Think of me as a gentle guide who is also on the journey with you.

Let’s bloom into who we want to be and how we want to be. Pen your plans, explore new practices, and check the boxes (so fulfilling!). Personalize it with ephemera, colored markers, washi tapes, and your deepest desires. Enjoy the pink space to reflect and dream with a gold pen in hand.

And the cherry on top, everyone who orders a copy will receive fun bonuses: an online workshop, downloadable PDFs, and a playlist!
