The idea of a fresh start is such a soothing thing to hold onto, especially when the world feels a bit cluttered. I was reading about the German tradition of the "Nubbel"—a simple straw figure that acts as a little keeper of everyone’s mistakes from the Carnival season. At the end, he is burned to symbolize letting go of the past. It’s a beautiful reminder that we don't have to carry our burdens forever. We can just tuck them away, say a soft goodbye, and begin again with a light heart and a clear mind. Truly, it's the little rituals that help us find peace. 🕯️🌿✨
