After a most challenging start to 2015, I feel like I got to catch my breath and just RELAX a bit last weekend at the Refresh Homeschool Moms' retreat in Birmingham, AL.

I did have to lead two sessions during the retreat, but that didn't feel like work - it actually was a tremendous blessing to share with moms and also LEARN from moms in return. 

The above picture is me (sitting on the porch at the Ross Bridge Resort) - after I had just finished journaling, reading, and napping. Ahhhh.  BLISS.
