One day left: Join the Quiet Life at 15% off!
"I wish I'd joined sooner" - many Quiet Life readers

Hello, dear reader…
Last week, we decided to offer a 15% discount on The Quiet Life subscription - just because.
Now, that offer ends tomorrow.
We’d never done a discount like this before (other than the pre-launch one, when we first started), I’ve no idea whether we’ll do it again. Maybe we will; lots of people have signed up during the past week! I just don’t know.
I do know, from our members’ letters, how many people have joined the Quiet Life only after thinking about it for a long time — and then wish they’d done it sooner:
'“The generosity and beauty of your writing has nurtured a community of thoughtful, authentic people. I’m grateful to be a part of it in a world that can be harsh and heartbreaking." — Julie
“I feel so drawn to this soulful community of deeply human people.” - David
Here’s how to join us, if you’re interested:
And, just as a reminder, here’s what you receive, with a Quiet Life membership:
✨ A Free Quiet Life Journal
(Regular price: $24.99 — yours free with an annual membership)
52 prompts — one for each week of the year — to help you add more poetry, ideas, and inspiration to your Quiet Life.
(Note: Shipping not included; available to annual subscribers only.)
✨ Access to the Full Archive
Including some of my most personal and beloved Kindred Letters:
✨ Monthly Candlelight Gatherings
Zoom circles with bestselling author guests, candlelit benedictions, deep reflections, and no pressure to participate.
Our next one is Sunday, August 17, from 1–2 pm ET — a members-only gathering.
✨ Recordings from Past Chats
With groundbreaking meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg, and bestselling authors Pico Iyer, Scott Barry Kaufman, Joseph Nguyen, This Jungian Life, and more.
✨ The Comments Section (a gem!)
Many say the conversations here are the most thoughtful and human they’ve found online.
✨ A Place to Share Your Own Creative Work
Whether it's a short reflection, a poem, or a painting — your voice is welcome here.
✨ And most of all…
You’re supporting our shared online oasis of depth, beauty, and meaning.
My aim is to help you add more art, poetry, ideas, and consolation to your life — with the ultimate goal of experiencing a richer, deeper form of happiness.

If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, I hope you’ll join us before the discount ends.
