These Walls ||

What has been lacking for my family in the past 3 years, is me. As I’ve been working toward my goals, I’ve worked 7 days a week for years. In the past three weeks, I’m finally off on Sundays. Today everyone slept in, including me. I was awake first and let myself lay in bed for an hour before getting up.

When I went out into the living room, Ingrid was feeding our new puppies. They are baby Doberman Pinchers. They ate, they were taken into the yard to potty and then back into their kennel. 🐾

Ingrid and I came down to my shop to make Turk and I coffee, get my makeup bag I had left behind (I haven’t worn makeup in so long-yet I remain optimistic and take it back and forth all of the time as if I’ll do it one day). 🤭

I had a non-plan-plan for today. Several tentative possibilities but ultimately-I knew I wanted to have a day of ease.

My ministry, is my own contribution to what happens of atmosphere, love, fun and food in this house. When I’m not in it, neither is my testimony of who God has made me to Turk (my husband), to the girls and to us collectively.

Today:
•I played a game 1:1 with each of the girls.
•I did yoga with Astrid.
•I did my best in a spin class on my bike (could only complete 22/30min)
•Had lunch with Turk in bed. 👌🏼
•Wrote a research paper on the chicken markets in the United States.
•Watched a lecture on Marketing Aspects of Agricultural Products.
•Supervising the girls doing chores.

Don’t forget that you are often filling a grand purpose by just BEING. It’s been nice being home a bit more often. I did love being open on Sundays through summer. As fall season comes-let’s remember that doing less (even it’s just by a smidge) can bring a settling of peace within.

I am still busy at home working, it’s just—different.

Happy Sunday 🫶🏼

Hours are changing. It’s been a roller coaster lately. It’s a lot to be open 7 days a week. This means I say “no” to a lot of things that might fulfill my family or myself. Summer Hours are transitioning now. We will be closed on Sunday so I can actually attend church again with my family for the first time in nearly 2 years. And - we are closed Mon-Thur at 5pm. Friday and Saturday 8pm.
Y’all are the absolute freaking best! (We tell our kids not to say “freaking” because they totally empathize it like it’s “f**king” and we’re trying to be cool but, we’re not that cool, turns out. So anyway, come eat our food. We’re happy to see you and we have bills to pay. 🫶🏼💋

My phone is about to die. Today, we were making breakfast burritos for ourselves and friends. A stranger walked in and said, I smell what I want to eat. So I offered him a burrito and he bought it and left apparently happy. Off menu items exist. Let your nose guide you.

You’ll find, this is exactly what I’m doing.
