I stand at the window and look out at my garden. Birds come and go from the feeder.

This week I’ve turned my blog over to my dear readers. Twelve of you are sharing your gardens with us today.

My main intention with my blog is to encourage and inspire you. To discover beauty. To look for joy. To embrace your creativity.

Won’t you join me in the garden today?

As slowly as 2020 seems to be progressing, the summer is certainly speeding past. I can’t quite get my head around the fact that it’s already late August.

The other day my cousin Sarah* shared a post on Instagram which was a part of a longer piece she shared on her blog. In it she wrote “stepping out of the box I decided I was going to do something to treat me.” Although her words were about the importance of doing something for yourself, what kept running through my head was idea of stepping out of the box.
