Morning Brooke! Just dropping in to say how excited I was to see a newsletter in my inbox this morning...perfect reading to go with my brekky on the deck-y 😊 Love this concept of 1% and I’m starting as we speak, just sitting out here drinking tea, getting ready to go for a bushwalking’s shortly while it’s cool still. And it’s the hook to get me meditating again. I could go on! Thanks as always x

Thanks Jessie! So glad to have you here, and I hope your brekky on the decky was delicious 😊 I am constantly being reminded how many ways I can use the 1% too - and so far it's all felt really sustainable and doable, no matter what the day looks like. Here's to bushwalks and meditation! xx

Mōrena, Brooke ~ your last three newsletters have given me much pause for reflection. I really thought I had almost nailed the slow living thing, mainly by stepping back from a very stressful job, but I realised some time ago that that was only part of it. I just filled that time with too many other should-type activities etc. Now, picking myself up from the tragic death of a dear friend, it's time to dig out my Values Retreat notes and undertake a reset. And what better moment than right now, on a very rainy Sunday morning (in an area of NZ that actually needs rain) ~ fire blazing, coffee steaming, cat purring beside me.....Kia pai tō wiki / have a great week xx

Oh Winsome, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Go gently with yourself, and I hope your weekend was as restful as it sounded. xx

Thank you for sharing, Brooke! I've been curious for this post since your last poggie episode. I am all in on the 1% concept! Also, "write a crappy haiku every morning" made me smile big 😁

Loving the 1%. It feels so achievable. I’ve started setting my alarm for 15 minutes each morning and stretching. So far so great! Thanks for all you share Brooke. Xx
