Hello August
With August’s arrival, summer feeling nearly over and the fall chores (firewood, harvesting and preserving the garden, new school year..yes it’s a bit of a chore for the teacher!) looming overhead I’m feeling the urge to pause for a moment to breathe and grab my bearings. No need running yourself ragged until you’ve got nothing left to give. I’m learning to give myself permission to rest! Why is that something we have to allow ourselves to do?! It should already be woven into our mindset just like we schedule ourselves to get a haircut or teeth cleaning. Note things to practice until it becomes habitual for regular self-care. The farmers market at the lake the last couple weeks have gone extremely well. It was so sweet to have customers there early to snag extra loaves to share with their friends. I really enjoy being a part of the community in…
