Hoping you have nice weather for your deck work this weekend! What a blessing that will be this summer for your whole family. Enjoy that breathing room it creates.

Sounds like God in the Yard might be just the right book at the right time for you, Kelly. The beautiful thing about it is it’s not so much about the book per se, but what the book encourages us to do on our own. I really, really appreciate authors who can motivate us to go make changes instead of just reading about them. Praying you have a restful and meaningful summer with your kids!

Thanks for the link. The lines you copied from the poem are the ones that stuck out to me too. Poetry like this is to be pondered, not skimmed.

‘Breathing room.
Margin around the edges.
Empty spots with no expectations.’

We are doing a little TLC on our deck this weekend so I can have that space to just sit and breathe. This makes me wish we were done with it so I can just chill. 🙂

I’m thinking hard about self-care and carving out space as summer with four children at home approaches quickly. Thanks for linking, Lisa!

My favourite poet, by a long way.

So glad to see your thoughts and mention (even from a while back) here on the blog this week. 🙂

Thanks, Lisa.
