The book's central argument is deceptively simple and quietly radical: the purpose of your life is not a destination, an achievement, a role, or an arrival. It is not something you find when you figure out your calling, or finish the thing you're working toward, or become the person you think you're supposed to be. The purpose is to be. To be present. To be here. To become, in yourself, the home you have spent so much time and energy searching for elsewhere. If you are not fully present in each moment, what are you here for? If you are not here to be who you are, who else are you here to be? These are not rhetorical questions. They are the book's entire project, and Beatrice works through them in the same register as her first: reflective prose essays, short and accessible, written with warmth and without judgment, the kind of writing that doesn't lecture but sits beside you.

As a company that's run by firefighters and employs family members of first responders, we're extra passionate about fire and candle safety. Follow these tips to get the safest, cleanest and longest-lasting burn from your candles.

  • The first burn is the most important. When lighting your candle for the first time, make sure you wait until the wax has melted evenly across the candle. By ensuring the whole surface has melted before you extinguish your candle, you'll avoid tunnelling and help your candle last longer.

  • Before re-lighting your candle, make sure you trim it to a 1/4 inch to ensure the smoothest possible burn and to ensure the flame doesn’t get too high.

  • When there’s 1/2 inch of wax left at the end of your jar, it’s time to restock! to get the very most use of those last bits of wax, you can pop your candle in the freezer, chip out the remaining wax with a spoon, and melt it in a wax melter.

  • Don’t leave your candles unattended or light them before falling asleep. a watched fire is a safe fire.

  • Make sure your candle is out of reach of kids, pets, and your friend who becomes a bit of a pyromaniac after a few drinks.
