There was a brightly colored bluebird on the reddest tree in my backyard yesterday and it was such a delight.

I would love to see that picture! 😊 But I'm glad you were in the moment enjoying it.

Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to claim our spaces and make them our own. I also rent and sometimes feel it’s not “worth it” to undertake a big project to improve my space. You reminded me that it is so worth it!

My tiny moment was picking up a crochet hook and some yarn. It can be scary to learn something new as an adult, but I set aside my judgment of how “skilled” I should be, and just let myself stumble and make mistakes. My first project (a coaster) is almost done!

It is so worth it i to create cozy spaces in our homes. When I finish one, I think, why didn't I do this years ago? It makes me so happy.

I love to embroider. Still learning. I'm so messy. But never too old to learn. And I love the results. You will have to post your coaster when you are done!

My tiny moment was returning home after traveling for my honeymoon. In the car I started making a list of all the things I was excited to see again. Walking through the door and being greeted by my cat, I filled my big water bottle and curled up on the couch so grateful for all the things that I take for granted on a daily basis

It is so fun to go on a vacation, but even better to return from it. Right? You have a newfound appreciation for your home. Congrats on getting married!

A tiny thing that brought me delight was trying a new kind of tea in my favorite mug. Also got to read a bit while I did it, which was a bonus

My favorite things to buy are things for my home. A mug, a bowl, a blanket. They are just the things that make life better each day.

My tiny moment was nuzzling a Kiwi bird stuffed toy and quietly reading Lords and Ladies (Discworld) after a particularly tiring day.

Well this sounds delightful. It is raining today and nothing sounds better than getting cozy and reading. I would cuddle my pug. 😊

A tiny moment with a big lesson to slow down. So much beauty and magic in the video and your words. Thank you!

Glad it found you! My biggest life lesson is to slow down. I struggle with it a lot. Every mistake I make can be traced to my rushing. 😊

My tiny thing has been lavender foot lotion and fuzzy socks at night. Have you read “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating” (Bailey)

I always loved when I would spot a bright flower pop up in the snow. 😊

My daughter found some tiny shells on the beach in Cozumel after my sister's wedding and they were so ordinary and yet so perfect. I love to see things through her eyes.

My husband and I got sick after the weather started to change and I noticed that our tuxedo cat, Booboo, started to follow us around the house, nonstop. She’s very independent and definitely not a lap cat, but knows when we need healing and will touch us with her little paws and do Reiki. Needless to say we’re recovering, thanks to our old, furry, magical, tiny friend 🧚🏻‍♀️❤️‍🩹 Blessings, Kim!

Animals are the most magical. They make life better. Glad to hear you are feeling better. It is no fun when you both are really sick at the same time. It is better when they are staggered. 😊

let me also share: you can hang an entire wall of tiny frames without damaging the walls or paint, perfect for a rental. 3M command strips have been a game changer. You can get them for different weights too for heavier pieces. I've been testing this the last five years and it hasn't even peeled paint up except in one case which was not a big deal at all.

I love tiny things too! In Salt Lake City it is unseasonably warm and there are still baby flower buds budding and little flowers blooming and little tiny bees visiting them daily! Such warm weather sweetness (in late November) Magical that the plants still want to grow.

🙌 I love having blooms all year round. Winter is the best weather on the West Coast. I've always wanted to visit Mt. Zion National Park in the fall. Summers look a little too busy. It looks so beautiful.
