ashley nesbit 10/21/2016 8:36 AMI live in Wisconsin, and with the current fall weather getting cooler we pulled the last of the vegetables from the garden last night and started preparing it for the winter. Slightly sad to see it done for the year however I am already excited to start planning the changes for the next season! -
ashley nesbit 10/19/2016 12:01 PMTaking time to think of gratitude has really resonated with me. I love doing this right in the morning and before bed. It inspires me in the morning and helps me feel grounded at night.-
Paul Ventura 10/19/2016 12:47 PMWhat a great way of putting it, Ashley. I like the daily "bookend" approach to checking in morning and night. I think I'll follow your example. And nice job of checking off your accomplishments!
