I used to let life escape me.

So distracted by the do, "what’s next?" mentality that I was missing my life.

Catastrophe brought such a beautiful gift in my life: I don’t let myself get distracted by what’s next and miss what’s now.

I took my amazing children to take a weekday trip to the beach. A blessing of our very privileged homeschooling life.

On the way for years decades really I passed these wildflowers in North Carolina plants to help encourage be population... and I always wanted to stop, but I never made the time because it wasn’t "productive"

today is my reminder that your joy, your rest, your play, is your life and that process is the most productive thing you can do. It’s with fuels your ability to have the joy to continue doing the work that’s required to make that life possible.

So I hope today is filled with tiny glimmer of magical, beautiful moments of mundane everyday life like a dandelion dancing in the wind.

because it is those glimmers that make life magic🫶🏼

PS. My kids made this beautiful arrangement. I’m wowed by their creativity.
