{Writing Wednesday: Poetry Edition}

Happy Writing Wednesday, friends! It’s hard to believe that August is on the downward slope. In less than two weeks, I’ll be headed “back” to work, and I know many of my teacher friends have already begun their school year. This is a season when decisions certainly can feel overwhelming and I’m right there withContinue reading “{Writing Wednesday: Poetry Edition}”

{Menu Monday 8.17.20}

  Happy #menumonday! If you’re new around here, you should know that I love helping women curate rhythms, routines, and traditions for a meaningful life to leave a legacy that matters.

{Power of an Invitation… sort of}

Happy Tuesday, friends. I’ve got something on my heart to share today, so I hope you’ll grab some coffee, pull up a chair, and join me in the conversation. It seems like this is the time of year, with Easter right around the corner, that we begin to hear from many leaders about the powerContinue reading “{Power of an Invitation… sort of}”

{Bravery and beta readers}

Trying to get brave over here.  Last summer I finished writing my first book, a cute little story about a boy named Hank and his summer adventures with his friend, Jake, all while visiting his Great-Aunt Leova and Great-Uncle Henry.  Since finishing, I’ve let a couple of people read it, and have spent a goodContinue reading “{Bravery and beta readers}”
