The mince pie shot! I love this family tradition of baking with my mum. So I don’t care if I post this picture every year! This year was extra special with the next generation getting involved @galloway_design Hope is hard, it is often hard to hope in the face of our reality. And yet hope is needed. . My advent post for today is on the blog. In the waiting: hold on to hope (link in bio) . Today’s picture courtesy of our stay in Hanoi 🇻🇳 🎄 Hanoi highlights, beautiful flower displays around Hoan Kiem lake 🇻🇳 . Glad to be home and hugging our girls once more. Full poem below⬇️ . I notice it already, the shortness of breath the tightness in my chest I don’t want to venture below the surface the shallows are safe and known the deep is murky and unclear yet something draws me under a faint glimmer in the gloomy dark a hint that perhaps there is treasure to be found so, I breathe deep and dive This poem is part of @amandaviviers #writemakecreate Summer challenge. She has weekly prompts through to February for writers, makers, and photographers. A good opportunity to find your creative muse once again. Mr and I are celebrating 20 years of marriage today. It feels like forever and no time at all. . It has been easy and it has been hard. . Life has thrown us some things that we’ve caught and tackled well, and others that we’ve dropped. . But through it all we’ve been together, figuring it out and that has been the best adventure 💕 “I just need some time in a beautiful place to clear my head.” . Today I am taking some time to pause and intentionally reflect on the year that was and the year to come. . I believe that living a life of intention is not easy. In fact it looks a lot like going against the flow. . It requires that I name what is important to me and what is not. . It requires reflection on what works and what doesn’t. It requires time and space. . Otherwise I may find myself carried along by the stream to a location which is not of my choosing. . So grateful for @amandaviviers and her pause daybook that helps me with this process. 💚 #findapause
