Well guys, the good news is we finally made it to the beach at Lake Tahoe. The bad news is I blew right through this seat when I finally sat down to relax. Directly after eating pizza and drinking white day wine. Soooo, maybe it’s a sign from the universe or maybe it’s just an old janky chair, but that’s what’s happening over here.

8th annual road trip is underway! There are no longer baby wipes and car seats involved (praise hands🙌🏼) but we still pack enough snacks to feed an army of toddlers. This ain’t our first rodeo. Grateful to keep the tradition alive this year!

Scouty and I, sharing a moment of agony as we listen to the kids “play” the piano upstairs. Is quarantine over yet? Asking for myself.

It’s hay-baling season on our little country lane. Just one more way we’re quietly marking the days over here.

10 Things I Learned This Spring:

1) As a recovering people-pleaser who sought the approval of just about everyone, discovering that I CAN APPROVE OF MY OWN SELF has been revolutionary for my joy, my confidence, and my inner life. Also? It requires some real work. Go figure.

2) For 38 yrs I’ve been saying “bad wrap” instead of “bad rep” and now my mind is sufficiently blown.

3) I’m no longer distracted by my body.

4) Iceburg lettuce is actually pretty great.

5) I’m beginning to believe that ‘my next right thing’ is to stop trying to figure out my next right thing. To receive stillness, simplicity, and the mystery of this season.

6) If I go too long without physical intimacy I turn into the worst version of myself. Which brings me to #7... 7) Sometimes my body knows things before my brain does.

8) My kids are mortal enemies by day and best friends by night.

9) I hate it when people tell me about the dream they had last night.

10) I’m equally afraid that quarantine will end, and that it will never end.

Noticing and listing the things I’m learning each season is a practice I adopted one of my creative mentors, @emilypfreeman. I mean, I don’t like, have her on speed dial. We don’t have pillow fights & discuss our weight with each other. She does however, quietly mentor me without ever knowing it. YouknowwhatImean?

I’m finding that right now, in the middle of 2020 as we’re living through a pandemic & a revolution, it’s been extra meaningful for me to get this stuff out.
