friends, i’m feeling heavy this week. are you?
with so much political chatter & noise, it only makes sense to grab a cup of warm tea & huddle down. get cozy. encourage the quiet. to create a list of joys & focus our intentions on those rather than the crazy that may surround us.
today i thought i’d share my list of joys. sometimes it helps to shine a light directly into the darkness.
