sunlight on the table while I wait for coffee
I came across my first Taking Stock post only yesterday over here at Libby’s blog – and the trail of breadcrumbs led me back to the original at Meet Me at Mikes.
i like the idea of taking stock
To stop and think about what is important in your world right now.
What you’re going to give your energy to.
What is bringing you joy.
I’ve marked it in my calendar as a semi-regular event. I’ll be taking stock every 3 months or so.
Thank you Pip for the inspiration xo
