"They are everywhere, every single day, waiting to be discovered. These are small moments that we all tend to overlook, but they hold the power to breathe beauty into our day.” At Rituals, they believe that being more aware of these moments is the key to a happier and more fulfilled life. For New Black, last month was such a moment—a small moment that could easily pass by, but where we just needed to pause. In this case, it is the successstory of Rituals on the Apple @ Work website from Apple (https://lnkd.in/eE5KG6ai) A meaningful moment with beautiful words from Bart Mudde, Joost van der Zwaan, and Lucas van Eeghen. And, of course, thanks 🙏 to everyone involved within Apple and Rituals for making this happen.
