A Woman Of Wisdom

Good morning loves,

I write to you this bright and shining morn from the outer banks of North Carolina. As I arose this morning I stepped into the sun and greeted the sea before me...then poured myself a cup of coffee. It has been far too long since I last wrote and I believe that there are quite a few blog drafts I should finish soon. I have some catching up to do when I find the time or perhaps make time. I honestly miss writing my thoughts down as often as I had been over the past year. I think that it's only fitting that I continue to work on being disciplined in my writing and reading especially in this very exciting new season.

This morning as I waited on Julie to roll out of bed I spent some time reading. I have found it to be very therapeutic especially with my heighten anxiety levels as of late. This morning I read from one of my favorite online magazines an article that I will share here because it spoke to me in several areas of my life. As I completed the article I took a deep breath and sighed. I could go into detail about how each part spoke to me but this would become far too long and I need some more time to process through my reading. So here I leave you all with this article and hope that it speaks to you (of course I'm speaking to my sisters). If you care to share your thoughts leave me a comment I'd love to hear what you think.

&&& I promise to post more in the upcoming weeks about my latest and long overdue rebelling a of my adventures
