Mindfulness in the Mess
Mindfulness isn’t something we have to carve out—it’s something we can live in. Even in the chaos. Even when the to-do list is long. In this reflection, Mary invites us to slow down, notice, and let the present moment be enough.
Preserving Joy, One Jar at a Time
✨ “A whole day in the kitchen, hands busy, heart full—the chopping, stirring, and preserving become a quiet kind of prayer: gratitude for the season’s abundance and love for the family who will gather around the table to enjoy it.” 🌿
Let Them Come Anyway
"I usually get a pit in my stomach before hosting. Not because I don’t love gathering people, but because I want everything to be just so… Last week, I did something rebellious—I let it all be a little imperfect. And you know what? They came anyway."
