This is a truism. When an inspired thought is worked on to the point where it materializes into writing somewhere - anywhere (a dream board, a journal, a list) - chances of it actually coming to pass are great. I have no

OH my heck, those tomato-basil stacks look SO GOOD. Can't wait to try when you get here :) I wonder what they'd be like grilled?
ReplyDeleteI really like what you said about getting rest. We really do have to demand it. Thanks for writing this stuff down so that I can come back and read it when I need a pick-me-up. Love you, Mom!
