Are you consumed by the attempt to balance more plates than you can comfortably carry? Do you constantly feel like you should be doing more?

Hopeful Pessimist
Y'all, March 2019 has NOT been a good month for my family, and its only the 7th.

The idea of simplicity, of having less but doing more, of being intentional, authentic, and hospitable. Growing up, my … Continue reading ARE YOU BUILDING TABLES OR FENCES?
