Thanks, friend! The whole scene in the rose garden made me think of all the moments you've shared flowers with us in your IG feed that have stopped you in your tracks (and us in our scroll). It's good to be practicing this habit with people we love, and watching them make it their own.

Thank you, Laura! I feel like I organized a closet or something, writing this. What would I do without writing to help me make sense of life?

This is beautiful, Adrienne. I love that you took a trip with just Penny! I’ve been wanting to do that with my oldest, but have yet to make it happen.

Beautiful! Echoing your same prayer: “God, keep inviting me further in. Stop me in my tracks. Let me see this world—these souls—as You see them. Teach me to say yes.”
