Small moment. Whole lotta joy. 😊

The small things we notice about the people we love, favorite foods, familiar routines, often end up meaning a lot later on. Take notes. 🙂

Whatever comes next, may it find us a little kinder and still willing to pull up a chair. Progress doesn’t always need a plan. Sometimes it just needs good company and a little joy.

Doing our best includes getting some rest.
Hope there’s room for a pause in your day.

Some tables are full, some chairs are empty, and some folks are inventing new traditions like a recipe you hope won’t make the smoke alarm holler. Wherever you are today, I’m sending love to the everyday work of caring, for others and for yourself. It all counts. 🧡

You’re walking, listening to music, minding your business—then suddenly, Holsinger’s Liturgical Dances pops up on shuffle.
And now you're airwalking, jazz-running, skipping, glide stepping, and prancercizing just to keep up with the time signature.

A sparrow flew right into my leg this mornin' (or maybe my big human self walked into its flight path? idk).
Y’all. My reflex? “‘scuse me. You okay?”
Southern hospitality clocked in early today. Hoping no one heard because what even ? 🙃🪶
