Welcome to the Iridescent Ordinary by Rubi McGrory.
The Iridescent Ordinary is a newsletter (and so much more) about daily practices, about creating micro-pockets of mindfulness and self-care for yourself through little daily routines and rituals. We’re your inbox cheerleader and hype-woman. We’re woo-woo enough to get you sparkling from the inside but grounded enough to keep you rooted in what’s possible.
The Iridescent Ordinary is about making meaning and mindfulness in your life simply by carving out small moments for yourself in a daily routine. It’s about finding the motivation to go to your routine every day; but also, about forgiving yourself when you miss a day, before getting right back to it. It’s about exploring the routine that works for you and finding ritual in it.
This is a weekly newsletter shimmering with inspiration for creating and sustaining daily rituals. Every Sunday, meet me in your inbox for a burst of sparkling wisdom about how to create meaning in your life through a series of daily rituals. I’ll share my own experience and research with you about different practices, benefits and what I’m reading. We’ll also take a sneak peek into other peoples’ routines and what works for them.
Along the way there will be ideas, suggestions and lots of cheerleading.
If you are a Rockstar subscriber, you’ll get a mid-week snack pack jam packed with lots of fun stuff like short guided meditations, journal prompts, creative exercises and more.
I am an artist and writer who has been evolving her daily practices for years. Some have stuck, some not so much. Not all of my attempts have been successful, but there have been no failures. Every night before I go to bed, I do a very quick sketch of my favorite part of the day, you can find these in their own instagram account. My main art instagram is here.
The first issue drops Sunday May 2, 2021. I can’t wait to see you there!
In the meantime, tell your friends!
