Weren’t those fall craft ideas darling!?! While Main Street Market 2019, Encouraging Quotes & Fall Decor Inspiration shares a photo gallery of the Urban Farmgirl hosted event I attended the other day in Belvidere, IL, it’s also more.

Main Street Market 2019, Encouraging Quotes & Fall Decor Inspiration
I am layering photos and pin-able messages with love flowing from this open heart. Plenty of days are difficult to navigate as I try to recover strength and wellness. But this disease has also granted me the gift of stillness. I am poised to listen, receive, and flow toward beauty WITH LESS RESISTANCE.

I hope this challenging health journey will soon become a distant memory. It is easy to become discouraged when messages of ‘health is everything’ are everywhere (mostly in subtle disguises).

Gifts from the Fountain
Healing takes time, and while my body is weakened and vulnerable, my spirit is spending time in the fountain. Healthy or unhealthy, are you spending time there too?

I hope you’ll enjoy a pocket of peace here even if you came solely for glimpses of visual beauty.

Humble Blessings & Reminders
As always, I offer humble blessing as a sister not a saint…and the reminder to seek daily transformation and a brand new mind as you greet each new day with a heartful HELLO LOVELY.

Main Street Market 2019
Main Street Market is an open-air market on the grounds of Boone County Fairgrounds in Belvidere, IL – hosted by Urban Farmgirl. This wildly popular event with shoppers features over 150 artisans and vendors from across the Midwest offering a mix of handmade and vintage goods.

But here’s a secret about the market you may be surprised to learn. It’s also where you can enjoy amazing local music talent…you will not be disappointed!

Loved this little trip. The tote bag that said -Parenting takes a Village and a Vineyard caught my eye.
2 years ago I attended the Country Living Fair in Atlanta – it was full of finds, vintage, or crafted to look vintage and just sooooo much eye candy! I love a good fest like this one .
I’m reminded of this song – The steadfast Love of the Lord never changes, His mercies never come to an end , they are new every morning ,new every morning Great is that faithfulness oh Lord!

Oooooh, I’d love to go to that fair someday. Thank goodness those mercies are new every morning and each new day is an opportunity for daily transformation. God is just so good. 🙂
May your day be filled with feelings of joy and happiness and days and days and days of healing ahead. 🙂

Mmmmmmm – thank you so much, Connie – I’m so blessed with joy in spite of my circumstances!
Such a LOVELY way to start my morning. You have a beautiful soul Michele and your words warm my heart. I’m not a religious person but I have the feeling god gives the biggest challenges to those he nows can handle them best, grow and learn from them, and help others. You have found a way around your challenges by finding so much beauty in the world around you, and sharing that with others. Peace to you TOO!
