Organization & Flow

The Ritual
Each evening, I clear the island, light a candle, and put on soft music. I wipe down the counters with a lightly scented spray and reset the kitchen for a new day. It’s a small ritual that shifts the energy and makes the space feel calm again — no matter how full the day was.
