The Calming Nourishment of "Same"

One of the things I've loved most about this past year is having the opportunity to share some posts with Modern Creative Life.


So, instead of sharing here today, I'm sending you there to enjoy a reflective look at "The Calming Nourishment of 'Same,'" which is a look at where and how I find peace and why sometimes different isn't always better -- just different.

I hope you'll stop by and read the post! (And thanks to editors Becca and Deb for publishing this one on my birthday! Yay, Medicare!)

And may I suggest you scroll down and check some of their other inspiring posts that touch on so many lovely things. You might want to check the submissions page, too! (hint, hint!)

  10. Loved the article. How very special to have a calming retreat like this family lake home. You make it sounds so welcoming and give me the desire to run there to the lake and that wonderful cabin.

  12. I enjoyed reading your calming nourishment of same, worlds apart from my life at the mo - as you will see in future months! How special to have had that family connection to your 'pond" going back to childhood, we don't have that in our life. Beautifully written :)
