Sacred Space

I am minutes away from leaving for the airport to pick up my dear friend Monica. I wanted to create a sacred, yummy space for her...to refresh her soul as she retreats from the demands of raising children for a few days. I'm so looking forward to amazing conversation, laughter, and delicious food.

I've had a vision for this little nook in our loft for awhile now, and her visit gave me the motivation to do it! Creating this space took me less than an hour, using bits and pieces that I had in storage or just around the house. After she leaves, I'm planning on using it as a little mama getaway for myself...a "prayer room" of sorts.

I'm encouraging you today to create this type of space in a corner of your home! Somewhere that you LOVE. Hang things that make you happy. Images or photos that make your heart soar. It's not always possible to take time away OUTSIDE the home...so create it within.

Let's encourage and inspire each other to pursue quiet, magical time in our days. It might mean getting up really early or staying up later...but I'm excited to find this time in my day.

I would love to see photos of your sacred spaces. Where do you meditate or pray? Where do you go to find peace & solitude? Post links to your photos if you have them.

*Flags are from Art To Go on Etsy. A few pillows and lights from Target. All other textiles were thrifted or gifted.

Happy Things

Hammocks, sunshine, and flags.

Camping in the mountains with friends.

Incense burning and prayers floating up.

This smile!

A book that made me laugh out loud and cry too. Read it. You will be changed.

Cooling off at the lake two amazing littles.

I finally took the plunge and ordered the newest copy of Kinfolk magazine after seeing so many of you gush over it. Can't wait to sit with it and turn the pages ever so slowly as I sip a soy latte.

Happy baskets! I use baskets around our home for everything. These are my new diaper/travel "bags". Love.

Support, laughter, and play.

These are some of the happy + lovely things bringing joy to my life lately...

Digging Deep: A Toolbox and Workbook for Personal Growth

I'm so excited to help Tara (The Organic Sister) announce the release of her newest eBook, "Digging Deep". Tara is a dear friend of mine and we've spent a lot of time on the road together...sharing meals, stories, and passion for life!

We've had many a conversation over campfires and coffee...and I can tell you that Tara knows her stuff. She is a talented communicator, coach, and fellow mama. Her search for knowledge knows no bounds...and now she is bringing all of that to you.

This eBook is an amazing resource that will help you uncover your potential and help you work through roadblocks that are standing in the way of you reaching your goals. She walks you through step-by-step in examining your core beliefs and how they factor into your current views of life. She talks about discovering your negative triggers, reprogramming yourself, re-writing your story, and SO much more.

If you have ever wanted a life coach...now you can have Tara and her insights right at your fingertips! Wherever you are at in your journey...if you want to "dig deeper" into life, this book is for you.

If you are hesitant because you've never purchased an eBook before, don't be! After you purchase it, you will get a link to download it to your computer and you will open it as a PDF file + audio files. I love love love eBooks...I have read so many lately that are inspiring and life-changing (see links along the left side of my blog!).

I am hoping to post an interview with Tara soon...so stay tuned!!
