Grateful beyond words for the gift of this day. 💛 Celebrating another trip around the sun + breathing deep with gratitude for so many sweet, unpromised gifts in my life. It was such a treat having @writtentospeak + @mattydoering in Waco, sharing their music + poetry with us tonight! And so fun getting to catch up with internet friends in real life (again!) — bonus that they got to visit with my family for a bit this afternoon, too! Grateful for this encouragement from @writtentospeak this week, remembering that “not everyone sees what you are doing, or why you’re doing what you are doing the way you’re doing it…but you’re doing great.” Happy Eclipse Day, friends! Have so much fun with your loved ones today and be safe! 🕶️ If you’re planning on watching it, I’d love to hear where you’re watching it from and what your experience is/was like!
