Finding Light in tough times
2025 hasn’t pulled its punches, but I’ve learned that finding light in tough times often starts with the smallest rituals - like lighting a candle. Watching my dad push through setbacks taught me resilience, and today scents like Palo Santo, Verbena Citronella, Black Currant, and Hearthstone remind me to breathe, reset, and carry on. A flicker of flame won’t fix everything, but it can spark calm, hope, and strength.
