As I look back on this past week, my heart keeps returning to a quiet moment that unfolded in the shop. A gentleman came in on the one-year anniversary of the day he and his wife spent their last afternoon together in our store. Since her passing, he returned to honor her memory by purchasing her favorite candles, hoping to bring a little of her warmth back into his life.
Moments like these remind me that life’s most meaningful memories are often woven from the fabric of ordinary days. A gentle laugh, a familiar scent, a shared family dinner—these are the moments that quietly shape our hearts. We don’t always recognize their significance while we’re living them, but when we pause and truly notice, we begin to understand just how precious they are.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to slow down and savor your days a bit more, let this be it. Share a kind word. Linger in a hug. Light a candle in honor of someone you love. Presence is a gift, and the smallest gestures often leave the longest echo.
Wishing you comfort, beautiful memories, and joy in the week ahead.
💛Christiana
