This weekend I took myself off for a nap. I don’t know about you but sometimes I get so caught up in ‘all the things that need doing’ that I forget about the benefit of rest. This page from the beautiful book by @ruthchousimons ‘Beholding and Becoming’ sums it up perfectly. I was a much more productive person after my nap (and possibly nicer to be around too 😝)! Jacaranda flowers, the blue sky and the smell of eucalyptus in the air. Hello summer 😊 What are your favourite things about summer? It’s the little touches. It was my privilege to share with the Mount Hawthorn MOPS group today about my book, ‘Beauty in the Ashes: Learning to Lament’. I am always stunned by how the MOPs leaders excel on the little touches to make their groups a welcoming place for worn out mums. It makes me think about how I can excel in the little touches for my family and friends. Mr and I have a deal that I’m not allowed to decorate for Christmas until the 25th November. But each year, I try to sneak things in slowly before 😉 This is my opening gambit ... do you think he’ll notice? 🎄❤️ I love coming home to a letterbox full of books. ‘Adorning the Dark’ has been recommended on a number of blogs I read, so I am looking forward to diving into this one. And the second is ‘This is Love’ a debut book of poetry from @ejcwritings with a hand written quote that reads: “No one quite like her, none can compare, for passion and wisdom surround her.”🥰 Anyone else looking ahead to 2020. I love the excitement of getting a new diary, and as I am still totally old school I use my 21 year old Filofax. But I also find it useful to see the scope of each month so for the last few year I have grabbed this from @kmartaus And this year it features polka dots! Such a little thing but gee it makes me smile 🥰
