A Midsummer Update
Plus an Examen as we Settle into Summer
Summer
Here we are again in the middle of the year with its magical golden hours and long days of light. We wonder how we could have it any other way and we revel in its bounty of flavors and colors. I hope this note finds you well, rested in soul though maybe tired from long hours in the sun. I am glad to reach out and say, “Hello! hope you are well!”
Lately on the Blog
On the blog you will find a brand new post for Al Fresco dinning and a simple galette recipe! While you are there make sure to check out the posts about creating a welcoming home and heart for gathering. Plus, you can still sign up for the graceful gathering challenge!



Three Things I am loving
Today marks my final day as a Noonday Ambassador. The gift that this journey has given me is beyond comprehension. I am so blessed to have traveled and met our artisan friends in person with the most beautiful souls as my travel companions. Plus, for a few more hours you can shop on my website still! Let’s join together and raise funds for our students in Uganda through our give back for June.
The friendships will last a lifetime! I look forward to partnering with Noonday as an affiliate and hopefully travel with them again but this time you get to come too! I will share more as I prepare for the next steps! Stay tuned!
This gorgeous magazine Journey with Maker by Johanna you can get your copy here or buy it for a gift!
This June I have walked a mile a day with the community of We Choose Welcome. I have been watching this organization, Abara, show up for those who need support due to immigration crisis. They are Pursuing Peace & Justice in a Divided World. Join us to uplift border communities and foster understanding and connection.
