The Magic of the Ordinary is a collection of meditations, practices, and aspirational entries about daily cottage life. It is divided into four parts (aligning with four seasons) and features short entries about the author's experience with healing and slow cottage living, and how you can apply to your life, wherever you are.
This book shares with readers that they do not need a cottage in the countryside to apply aspects of slow living to their daily lives. Mindful living can be applied in most walks of life, and Paola's writing encourages readers to find healing and fulfilment in their current situations through a variety of mindful practices.
This book also includes:
- Topics of moving to the cottage from the city, working full time, managing mental health, living in alignment with the natural cycles and seasons, and gardening and tea making experiences.
- Original illustrations (depictions of nature, the author, and her cottage and pets).
- Calming "short but sweet" prose.
