The hot days of summer stretch out ahead of us–are you making plans to change up the routine and take a much-needed break?
I am, which includes a bit of a sabbatical from my online life. So for the next month you’ll be treated to some incredible guest posts and summer thoughts from our regular contributors.
As for me, I’ll spend my days working on another book as well as making time on my list for staring and other worthwhile summer pursuits…and maybe a nap or two! I hope you also find a way to slow down and care for yourself this season.

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” ~ John Lubbock
