March Madness
“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” – Cynthia Occelli

22 / 23
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the ole blog—a lot has happened over the last month! Getting a stomach virus marked mid-late January.

Yay for having an income again soon! We had a good weekend filled with celebrations… On Saturday, Cass, Clare, and I wentContinue reading “Like a Moth to a Flame.”
