Green was the Silence
“Green was the silence, wet was the light. The month of June trembled like a butterfly...” ––Pablo Neruda Green morning light, filtered by the ferns into a gauzy emerald haze, streamed into Beulah’s bedroom window. Barely 6:00AM, the yellow ‘amakihi birds, noisy honey-creepers, had started screeching their monkey’s call aki-aki-ka-ka hours ago. The house was already steaming with tropical heat.

Ladies, this one’s for you. Beyond the chocolate truffles and long-stemmed roses, Valentine’s Day is about one thing––getting physical. For those lamenting their single status on this sex-driven holiday, I ask you this: If the goal is physical touch...why not celebrate Valentine's Day to its fullest? With yourself.

My Slow Movement Manifesto
What if we embraced a slower pace instead of pushing against the stillness? As the world is slowing down, many of us are feeling the dangerous pull of an opposing force: the pressure to be more productive, forge ahead in our careers, and achieve the "perfect" lockdown body. In addition to the negative mental health impacts of this mindset, the exercise and wellness industry can be damagingly ableist, catering solely to those with high levels of fitness and bodily autonomy. My slow movement mantra is this: All bodies are beautiful. All bodies deserve the judgement-free joy of easy movement.

Vanlife, co-living houses, group retreats and solo travel––over the past four years as a digital nomad, I’ve tried it all. Search the #digitalnomad hashtag on Instagram, and your feed will be flooded with sunset cocktails and beachfront lounging. But the truth is this: being location independent is a lifestyle, not a vacation.
