Summertime

Aaaahhhhh, summertime!  Time to relax, to refresh, renew, re…everything!

Just a quick note to tell you all that I’ll be doing just that for a while this summer.  Time to focus on my sweet family and just have some good old-fashioned summertime fun!

I’ll be back sometime in July—so until then, have plenty of fun in the sun making sweet summer memories! 

See you soon!

Gentle Reminders

DSC03701_edited-1 {beautiful button heart image courtesy of Crafty Secrets}

I love the gentle reminders I get from minds far wiser than my own.  Reminders to be kind & thoughtful to others…reminders simply to smile

Reminders to stand for something you believe to be right—even if that means standing alone at times…

…and reminders to play.  To be childlike.  To love life and all that it brings….

Letting Go

DSC03640_edited-2

It’s hard to let go of things, isn’t it?  Hard to give up being in control.  It’s hard for me, anyway…

…whether it’s letting go of past feelings, hurts, fears & prejudices…

…letting go of your children—letting them spread their wings and fly {which is happening oh, so very fast here}…

…or letting go of your words—letting them spill out onto paper from your mind for the first time………..

Letting go can be hard.  But, it can also be very liberating, too…don’t you think?
