"It seems to me that in the U.S., even in our quest for community, we’re often inhibited by our sense of individualism. We want to control and select exactly who makes up the community we inhabit.

"I've been introducing more pops of color into my jewelry collection, including this turquoise beaded chain necklace from one of my favorite woman owned businesses. It has an adjustable chain, is a bit sunwashed (perfect for living near the beach!), and layers effortlessly with some of my other favorite necklaces. I love everything from the Tiny Tags collection, but this one is a new favorite!" [Check them out]
How one reader is embracing spiritual formation:
"Thank you for the lovely article on exploring spirituality! After a long period of no religious affiliation, I recently embraced the Unitarian church which (personally) I feel is an answer for those who have spiritual belief but don't care for some of the tenants of more established religions. Unitarianism draws from many faiths and traditions, and values living in love and practicing service to others. I feel I've found community and spiritual inspiration again there 💗" - KY
