We’re coming back down the mountain today—or at least that’s the plan. Currently, we’re sitting in a line of cars as the snow falls around us, and we wait for Interstate-80 to reopen. It’s a dramatic conclusion to a very full two-week holiday break with the kids.
Update: We’ve now successfully made it home. We drove for about 5 hours on Sunday and only made it 16 miles, so we finally turned around and returned to the cabin to overnight there until the interstate reopened Monday morning. In hindsight, it would have been better to stay put, but Aron had operations scheduled and it’s terrible have to cancel those.
I’m feeling ready to get a fresh start on the New Year—clean house, clean food, and all that! I don’t want to lose the energy that comes with the calendar change. But before moving onto new things, here’s a look back…
It’s raining outside, the children are celebrating their last day of school before the winter break begins, and it feels like the right time to sign off and wish all of you a happy holiday!
As I come up on ten years of blogging, I want to thank you for making this space such a special thing for me—I’m grateful for your reading throughout the year! I hope you’ll be back in the New Year, and that you’ll share with me anything you’re looking to find more of.
Merry Christmas to all who will be celebrating, and warm wishes to everyone. From my family to yours: Wishing you joy, love, and peace in 2019.
Many of us will be taking to the roads (or the skies) over the holidays and, in between Bing Crosby and Baby Shark, there might be a chance to sink into a good audio book. I always relish the chance, but all too often I leave titles unfinished after our transit time has ended.
So we set out to find six books that can be started and finished in under six hours of travel time, but which—even in their brevity—will offer plenty of inspiration on the eve of a new year.
This month, as you set intentions for the months ahead, consider choosing one or two of the following audiobooks to aid in framing and focusing on how you’ll navigate 2019. I’d love to hear any suggestions you would add!
