Encouragement Right Where We Are
This global pandemic affects each and every one of us, and we are surely dependent upon each other in fresh ways. These beautifully poetic words (below) from Lynn Ungar brought a layer of beauty today on this, the first day I witnessed panic in our small town.
As we re-arrange our lives temporarily and practice kindness in our communities, I hope you will lean into faith when you feel fear or dread begin to settle upon you.

Faux Built-ins!
Lately I have toured a few older homes where the bedrooms were small and lacked a closet. Here’s a ready-made alternative with coastal cottage good looks which would cost thousands of dollars to create from scratch.
