My Backyard Jungle—I didn’t plan it.

I just let it grow.

Somewhere along the way, my backyard decided it wanted to become a jungle. I didn’t plant half of this. I barely touched it. Yet here it is — thriving, climbing, stretching wherever it wants to go. While others struggled with their crops this year, mine quietly got on with it. Maybe the secret really is leaving things alone. Come winter, it will all disappear. And when spring returns, the jungle will rise again — on its own terms. 🌿

Back to My Words

“Life pulled me inward for a while.

Tonight, I’m slowly finding my way back to my words.”

I’ve been a little quiet here —

not because I forgot this place,

but because life asked me to lean inward for a while.

I’ve been helping my husband through his season,

and at the same time learning to put my health first —

to rest when my body asks,

to slow down when my heart feels heavy.

Some days there was nothing left for words.

Only breath.

Only quiet.

Only doing my best.

But my words were never gone —

they were just resting with me.

And tonight,

I’m gently finding my way back.
