  • Every day, I take a photo that represents something beautiful or memorable about the day. These are the moments I want to remember about this time, not the fear, uncertainty, and lack of control. 🌸🙏
  • The @ethicalstyleco gang is getting back together again for Fashion Revolution Week! Ok, not physically together, but virtually. We’ll be doing our 7X7 challenge again to help get us out of our WFH rut. Who’s in?! #whomademyclothes #7x7challenge #fashionrevolutionweek
  • Tonight as I was reading through a book and adding to my ever-growing list of things to “accomplish” during this time at home, my husband looked over at me and said, “What if you just BE over the next few weeks?” Excuse me, what? I’m not good with “just be.” I consistently feel the need to be productive and accomplishing things. And during this uncertain time, it gives me a sense of control and order. But maybe he’s right - maybe there is value in just being. Being present for my family and being present with how I’m feeling verses checking the next box on my list. To all of you overachievers out there, give yourself a chance to just be.💕

  • Prior to the virus outbreak, I had some of my favorite images of Italy printed to hang throughout my home. Little did I know they would offer a visual escape in the weeks/months ahead. I’m not sure I’ll ever take for granted the ability to travel about freely again. First: Venice Second: Naples Third: Almafi Coast
  • Joy is a defiant, nevertheless! - Karl Barth . As I was reading through my past journal entries, I came across this quote from prominent theologian, Karl Barth. He did much of his writing during the rise of Hitler, and the insurmountable tension of that day. I won’t go into the nuance of the quote other than to say, he was basing it off Paul’s text in the book of Phillipians. . However, as I look at the world around us, I’m struck by this sentiment. Joy (happiness) is often a choice - no matter the circumstances or the place we currently find ourselves. Most of us have plenty to eat and a safe shelter from this pandemic storm. Let us consider those who do not have enough to eat and do not feel safe in their homes. And today, let’s choose joy. 🙏💕
  • This too shall pass. 🙏💕 . I’ve been vacillating on whether or not I should post anything during my social media break. However, these are unprecedented times, and our only connection to the outside world right now is virtual. . I personally have been overwhelmed by the deluge of information and do not want to contribute to the noise. I do, however, want to know how you are coping and if you too are feeling overwhelmed by all of the noise. For us, we’ve been doing our best to try and maintain a semblance of a routine. Being relegated at home with 19 month old definitely has its challenges. . Please know I’m here and thinking of all of us during this time. If there is any relevant content you’re interested in seeing or reading, I’d love to know. Take care, friends. 💕☀️
