Hopefully as the weeks pass everyone has time to post a photo of their finished projects to the Lazy W Facebook page. I am plotting a cool dresser makeover using her tips, and I pledge to post photos too.
The winners are…
Bruce Barone (gardener, chef, and fellow taker of the Joy Dare)
Stephanie Clinton who blogs at Hugs Kisses and Snot
Jennie Brooks (a beautiful soul)
Lynn Fern who blogs at On Fern Avenue
Heather Benton who blogs at New House New Home New Life
Big thank you to everyone who shared the book release information, and another big thank you to Allison for her generous gift. We wish her the best with this project AND with the final weeks of her pregnancy!
Marathon Mondays starting again. It is time for fall marathon training to start. While I have yet to decide on a race before the end of the year, I am kicking up my miles and revamping Marathon Monday posts to include all kinds of fitness and health related topics. I hope this is interesting to you! And I hope you join the conversations as often as you can. We all have bodies, and we all need to find sustainable ways to care for them.
The Lazy W Honeymakers are doing great. Maribeth helped me conduct a thorough bee yard inspection Sunday afternoon, and I want to share all of the sweet, sticky details with you. For now, just say a quiet little prayer of thanks that we have two thriving colonies at the farm! I am so happy.
Actively Giving Thanks. I stumbled across a scripture that has my memory in overdrive. The 136th Psalm is line after line of praise for incredible miracles God performed in the Old Testament, followed each time by this: His mercy endureth forever. It struck me so hard, and it inspired me to compile a long list of the incredible miracles He has performed in my life, focusing on His mercy. So I will be working on that throughout the week, and I invite you to do the same. Maybe meet me back here next Sunday and share some of your miracles remembered?

Okay folks, I am signing off for a bit and heading outside for some running and fresh air. Then maybe some horse brushing and morning-glory thinning. Our nephew Koston is here for a day or two, so before he wakes up I need to carefully stack the Uno deck so he doesn’t beat me today.
I hope you have a full, happy, productive, loving day ahead of you! I hope you find the energy you need to tackle your lists and the reward you need to feel like it’s all worth it. Think positively. Protect your heart. Give of yourself generously. Never give up hope for your most urgent prayers.
Carpe the Heck out of This Diem!
