You know how I say my kitchen sink is my office in this season of life? Now I have fresh-picked lavender hanging in my office window. Blisssssss.
Its scent and hangy-ness remind me that I have a center. To pay attention to it, to breathe deeply and let joy creep into the corners of my days.
And this....
"I also learned that you didn't come onto this earth as a perfectionist or control freak. You weren't born as a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes. You learned contraction to survive. But that was then. It is now your turn to reap."
