Discomforts
Good evening, friends! Here is the “Quote of the Week” that has been rolling around in my brain these last few days. To me, the discomfort either fades or it turns into something beautiful.

Happy Friday, friends! It has been an interesting week for me, as I was very much under the weather since last Sunday morning. Today is the first day I woke up feeling like myself again, and for that I am thankful. I am glad to be back today to post this week’s Quote of the…

Choosing Joy
Happy Friday, everyone! This past week I’ve started reading Bob Goff’s book Undistracted. I love the voice he writes in – it’s both simple and profound, challenging but loving. He offers relatable insight into life and the work of finding joy. The quote I am sharing today focuses on the ability to choose joy and…
