Today's Substack conversation takes our newest blog reflection one step deeper: how do you love people without volunteering to manage every emotion in the room? Bring your thoughts and your coffee. Find the reading link in my bio. ✨ The farm has a special way of correcting my plans. I make a sensible list, walk outside, and suddenly I'm negotiating with weeds, weather, and a chicken with very strong opinions. What's the most ridiculous detour your day has taken lately? 🌿 #GlimmersInChaos A little something from Glimmers in Chaos: You can care about people without carrying every feeling they hand you. This week's Glimmers in Chaos reflection is about boundaries, love, and putting down the emotional luggage that was never ours to haul. If that sounds familiar, come read along. Find the reading link in my bio. Snuggle Up Sunday is here, and SWEATER WEATHER IS FINALLY COMING TO FLORIDA! MONDAY MORNING YOGA: Because Coffee Can Only Fix So Much! How many of us do things simply because they make us happy? This was a big part of healing for me with my anxiety issues. Finding things that I loved and doing them without guilt ….or reason/excuse. Simple doing them because they made me happy. 📚 SNUGGLE UP SUNDAY 📚 We have a small bump in our weekly plans with that tiny spinny storm out in the Gulf. I am thankful for the quieter week in my grasp. I get to nap, bake, sleep a bit later than normal and soak up the rainy weather…while dreaming of the garden and the greenhouse. Apparently, just because I can start 72 plants does not mean I should.
