Let me know what other videos you'd like to see from me! Whether that be more general life vlogs about slow living and small joys, or more sit down book recommendation videos, or reading vlogs about specific books. Or if you would like to see combos of reading plus mindful living content around New England or the Boston area. I would love to hear from you!
