Intention

The other day I found myself having all of the “should” thoughts… “I should call my parents, actually read the stack of books on my night stand, clean the dishwasher filter, etc.” Sometimes “shoulds” can be helpful nudges, and other times, they can load us up with unnecessary guilt.

Here we go again. After moving 4 months ago, I’m finally in a headspace where I can think about building our new village. But life doesn’t look the same as the last time I attempted to do this, so I’m approaching it differently too. In this episode, I’m sharing 3 rules I’ve set for myself […]
