Weekending in the Woods

A couple of thoughts this Sunday...

I spent yesterday morning hiking in the woods. It was one of those "Is it really November days?" full of sun and warmth, chirpy birds, and crunchy leaves.

Today I am going to hike again, but this time without my camera. I like to do this every once in awhile to just observe and clear my mind.

I did an interview at The Jolly Bee- pop over if you would like!

I have my big heart-flippy tests this week that I have alluded to for a while now. One tomorrow afternoon and another one on Saturday morning. I am going to take a little break from this space for a week while I focus my brain on anatomy, therapy, and diagnosis. I'll also be doing lots of yoga and walking to keep my heart calm and my mind ready.

After these tests full holiday crafting will commence. My mind is swimming with ideas and I cannot wait to get the rotary cutter in my hands.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
