Happy Friday! Where have you found or created beauty in your corners of the world this week?

I started making this blanket during surgery recovery, finished it this week, and my dog immediately claimed it. But she will share it with me sometimes 😂

What are your joys from this week?

Let's bring this back! Where have you found or created beauty this week?

I spent last weekend in the mountains for a church retreat. The fall colors were vibrant, but the best part was the time spent connecting with the other women, laughing, crying, praying together.

Your turn! Show me your joys!

A Saturday selfie from retreat. I stayed up too late, neglected my water intake, laughed, cried, prayed with, and shared stories my sisters in this GORGEOUS spot.

Reading a little and enjoying the quiet before we start a chaotic week haha

We get two choices in every situation.

1. Who do I want to be in the middle of this?
2. Who do I want to be on the other side?

Do I want to be staid, stuffy, solemn, the way *they* taught me? Or do I want to be open - to love, growth, expressing joy?

I'm glad to be in a place where I choose joy.

The world is incredibly heavy and not getting better. I recommend being in The Nature if you can.

As I walked among flowers and took a few minutes on a swing, I felt lighter. Connecting with your inner child isn't about avoiding responsibilities but acknowledging that THIS is also who you are.

I forgot yesterday! I even had pictures ready!

I walked through my neighborhood park the other day and stopped to admire the little garden. Purple flowers always catch my eye in the fall, declaring their presence anong brown and orange and faded yellow.

Your turn! Where did you find beauty?

Today is an interesting milestone, my marriage has been over as long as it lasted (13 years and 12 days).

I have mixed feelings about still being single today. I'm okay, just a small amount of melancholy as "crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing." But I can probably pass this test, too.

Friends, it's Friday! Where have you found or created beauty in your corners of the world this week?

A before and after, this extra counter in our dining room has always caught clutter, and we've been working on making it functional. This weekend, I added a bookcase for cookbooks and now look!

Friends, it's been a heavy week. Where have you found or created beauty in your corners of the world?

I'm summoning Autumn already. I am personally done with summer and ready to be cozy.

Your turn! What did you make or see that brought you joy this week?

Post-church coffee with some friends today.

Friends, where have we found or created beauty this week?

I spent about 2 hours in a rose garden last weekend. And I found my grandmother's favorite (it's called Double Delight - first picture)!

Your turn! What brought you joy?

A Saturday selfie in a rose garden, saved just for you

An homage to @adamundefined.com, a donut by the river on my last morning of vacation. It's been a great visit.

Friends, I'm on vacation, and have been offline most of the day, exploring! But it's Friday, so tell me where you've found or created beauty in your corners of the world!

I can confirm that the zoo is still a fun place to visit. There were baby animals. They FROLICKED. It was so great.

Still doing the thinking about writing thing, and wishing I could be just a smidge more productive.
August 11, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Friends! And new friends! It's Friday, and it's been a DAY (all is well), so please tell me where you've found or created beauty in your corners of the world this week!

I was delighted, though, to launch into this busy day with a little Edna Mode energy!

Your turn - show me your joys!

Friends, where are we finding or creating beauty in our corners of the world?

I've had writer's block, and July has been hot, but the other day my AC was soooo cold that I needed a blanket while I tried just being in a different spot (location change seemed to help!).

Your turn! Show me your joys!

I'm listening to The Page Turner by Viola Shipman. So far, a young aspiring writer has met her least favorite author and had all her opinions of him confirmed. Can't wait to see if they fall in love 😂

I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful and gracious Elizabeth is. And it's her birthday!

Elizabeth loves tea and books, and when we visited them, she and Nick took us out for tea service at a fun cafe.

To celebrate, maybe have a cup of tea and share what you're reading!

My daughter made dinner the other night, and I had a call, so she put my bowl together. And it was just so colorful and pretty. (Ingredients in alt text.)

Your turn! What brought you joy this week?

Nap trapped, and I haven't gotten any coffee yet
