I finally found the energy to start rebuilding my backyard — and what surprised me most was how much strength, peace, and satisfaction I found in the process. So a funny thing happened this spring. I decided I wanted to start really gardening again. When my kids were young we had raised bed gardens in…
This month I’ve been busy with garden prep, home projects, and a few simple habits I’m trying to stay consistent with. April got off to a great start, and honestly, I’ve felt more energized this month than I have in a while. We kicked things off with a leadership (ministry) retreat that left me spiritually…
I’ve been settling into a slower rhythm at home—one that feels peaceful, purposeful, and just right for this season.

I’ve been traveling for the last 2 1/2 weeks. I drove down to Florida to visit with my kids there (I have a son and daughter living there with their families) and then I made my way up to the Atlanta, Georgia area to visit my parents for a week. It was such a sweet…
