There are seasons when the world feels too loud. Too heavy. Too much. And often, that weight doesn’t stay “out there.” It follows us home.

I have finally — and I mean finally — been really diving into my reading goals and actually enjoying them again. For the last few years, my reading has been a little lackluster.

It’s been two long years since I’ve been able to grow a garden. Life shifted in big ways during that season.
