Happy Friday 07/03/20

Happy Friday! And happy (almost) Independence Day! What are your holiday plans? We’re planning to bake pies and bbq and connect with family on FaceTime.

Goodness I can’t believe all the support and similar feelings expressed from readers on Monday’s life update post. Thank you. The value of blogging is in connection, and hearing from so many of you about your own paths and experiences really reminded me of that. Thanks for being here ❤️

‘The Year of Less’ has been on my reading list forever and I finally listened to it last week. It’s a short read and Ms. Flanders’s journey to buying less, owning less, and simplifying was totally inspiring. (Amazon affiliate, Indiebound)

Have a great holiday weekend!
