It was a really hard week, wasn?t it" With the heartbreaking news from Texas, I was so very angry about the murders and frustrated by repetition of these kinds of crimes. I was on my way home from Spain when I heard the news and then the jet lag hit me hard, so I honored my heart?s desire to mourn and my body?s desire for rest for a few days.
My teens will be done with school in a week and we will be shifting our focus to renovating the house in Florida. I?m ordering materials and lining up contractors for the space makeovers I?ll be working on. Of course I?ll be sharing it all on the blog and Instagram so stay tuned for those coming transformations.
