An Irrestible Invitation

I realize Mondays are typically the powerhouse of the work week. But wow, we had a busy weekend: Birthday celebrations, prom, Mother’s Day festivities, and fabulous church services. So this morning, I had an invitation I couldn’t resist …

Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.

Sign up here and you’ll receive a weekly-ish note from me to you reminding you of the good and cozy things in life. This is also the best place to hear firsthand about upcoming classes and events.
