How to Become the Collector of Your Own Life
A few weeks ago, someone asked me what "everyday noticing" really means.
I could have talked about mindfulness or creativity. I could have described keeping journals or making art from found papers. But the answer that kept returning to me was much simpler than that.
It's about becoming the collector of your own life.
Not a collector of expensive things or extraordinary experiences, but of ordinary moments that might otherwise disappear.
Because our days are constantly offering us something worth keeping.

If you've ever thought your life wasn't interesting enough to fill a journal, may I offer another possibility?
Maybe you've simply been measuring your days by the things that don't quite capture their fullness.
What if your life isn't waiting for extraordinary moments to become worth recording?
What if it already is?
