Hello There!
I’m Xuan Klevecka, the writer behind Slow Notes and a devoted advocate for embracing a simpler, more intentional life.
Based in Southern California, I’ve spent years fostering a community that values the gentle art of slow living. As a Mindful Living Coach, Homeschool Mentor, and voice at The Homeschool Front and Life in the Trenches, I help individuals and families find joy and fulfillment beyond the hustle of everyday demands.
Why Slow Notes?
In a world where speed and busyness are often mistaken for efficiency and success, Slow Notes is my invitation to you to pause and reconsider.
It’s about making room for growth at a pace that feels natural, not forced.
Here, we celebrate the small joys, cherish the quiet moments, and cultivate practices that ground us in the present.
My hope is that Slow Notes will become more than just a newsletter—instead, a community.
A space where like-minded individuals gather to share stories, tips, and inspiration on how to live a life that’s not only sustainable but also satisfying and deeply connected to what truly matters.
