For me it looks like… creating space, time and beautiful things that fill my soul, like…. having the time to talk with my children and not having an agenda… taking care of my sweet Aqua Man. (This mostly involves feeding him.) It is loving myself enough to take care of my body. It is riding my bike…playing with my horse. Filling my home with peace, simple luxuries and cozy things that make my people happy. It is growing my own vegetables. Writing. Being inspired and inspiring others. Going slow. Spending time with the people I adore.
There are days when I stuff too much doing into the day and end up frazzled, exhausted and grumpy.
And there are days when I cherish my favorite blanket, a perfect cup of coffee, flickering light of candles, snuggling with my dog and having time to be grateful.
(Did I mention all my laundry is done?)
When do you feel love; what does it feel like?
For me it feels, like "home."
And later, it is going to feel like making Pesto...

Peace, Love and Homebodies….
I love this post Alexis. I think I'll light some candles too and think about how to love my family a little better. Nothing like candle light and beautiful music to bring rest to the soul. Great post. Great reminder.
