003 | Change of Seasons

Enjoy a moment of sanctuary to breathe deeply and simply be present to this time.⁣

I’m sad to say that summer is starting to wind up here in the upper Midwest. If you have school age kids, you are either anticipating the start of the new year or it has already begun. Either way a change of seasons is or soon will be upon us. Given that and the heartbreaking news out of Haiti and Afghanistan, an extra investment in what allows you to experience rest and renewal will serve you well in these days.

We are spending this week at Pine Lake at our family cabin. I’m being intentional about the following, all of which renew my heart, spirit, and energy:

—a slow pace

—cooking both favorite and new recipes and enjoying the process

—reading/puzzles

—getting outside

—savoring time to write in the quiet of the early mornings

—meditation and prayer

—being present

🪴 Whether you have kids starting school or not, what will help you experience intentional rest and renewal in this season?
