During market week last week, we had the pleasure of a visit from Kim of KC’s Fashions. We got on the subject of life, death and everything in-between. She said when people visit a cemetery, they tend to look at the date the person was born and then the date they died but they forget the hyphen in between. The hyphen is a whole life lived.
We tend to focus on the edges and forget the in-between. Do you remember to live in the hyphen?
Thank you Kim for the reminder!

Staying horizontal never helps. Trying to fall back to sleep is not easy because the dark thoughts stick around. But magically, when I get up, stand and leave my bed, those upsetting thoughts leave as well. When I stand up, get on my feet and start moving, it all seems so much easier. I can...
