    I wanted to call this post ‘Sunday Scheming’ because that day marks the end of a week for me, and that’s usually when I get randomly inspired to change my whole life.

    I’ve recently been exploring spirituality and intuition, and I have to say that I’m really happy to be on this journey right now.
