a new PODCAST, a question and a WE SURVIVED MAY CELEBRATION!

by Karmen |

WHOO! WHOO! any night owls still up out there?

 

I feel a bit like Dory, from Finding Nemo, as if I should introduce myself again:

 

Hi, I’m Karmen, the voice behind this place.  It’s nice meet you. I’m delighted you stopped by.

 

Like no joke, I keep thinking life is going to slow down or I’m going to wake up one morning and be all-scheduled-and-organized like Mrs. “I do laundry on Mondays, grocery shop on Tuesdays, library on Thursdays..”  yada-yada-yada and then I fly back from fairy-world  and remember that I’m the fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-let’s-wear-them-one-more-day-before we wash em’ girl!

 

Tell me friends, what’s new in your world?

 

Being that you are reading this, May didn’t get ya.  Some days it felt like that around here.  Like the month of May was ready to take us d-o-w-n.  But we persevered and fought through the graduation for this one (P.S. please note the loving photographer was striving for connection not perfection in regards to the photos in this post)

an end-of-the-year for that one (the tall one is the one in the daughter I never had and is the one who has promised to take care of me all the live long days of my life after my boys are grown and gone #sniffsniff)

Don’t let the ‘tough guy’- too-cool-for-school look fool ya’ -this sweetie won the citizenship award for his class #waytogoRo

We made it! #highfivesallaround

 

 

YOU made it!  We made it!

 

And now it’s June.

 

June is my favorite because it’s birthday month for my spirited-little,  for some of my very favorite people on the planet and for me (although I’m completely comfortable in my juvenile state of denial and have totally decided to go back and hold at 29 years young…again).

 

But mostly, June is just fun because it ushers in summer.

 

HIP-HIP-HOORAY!  three cheers for summer!!!! and other BIG NEWS!

 

#1 a project near and dear and super special is ALMOSTcompleted and I. can.not. wait to share it with you….stay tuned because there just may be (like for sure there’s going to be a GIVEAWAY!)

❤️God is the Master Gardener 
❤️ Don’t give up when things don’t look like they once did
❤️Keep showin’ up to do the work 
❤️Our heavenly rewards will be worth it!

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅

message me for more details
