Ahh yes! A wise person recently told me “wisdom is knowing your limits” and this is becoming a medicinal mantra for me. Thanks for the reminder ♥️

Thank you! It feels so good to plan something for so long and have it work out so well. It’s been really fun piecing everything together.

My favorite story about making things harder than they need to be is when I was in 7th grade and broke my leg and wanted to shower. My mom and I tried everything we could think of to get me into the tub ... holding on to the frame of the shower doors, holding on to her while I hopped my good leg in. It just wasn't working.

My sister came home and said, "Why don't you sit on the side of the tub and swing your legs over?" Which is very simple and seems very obvious ... unless you are really good at making things harder for yourself.

Yay for knowing when to call in help (and deciding to do it!)

Well I giggled a lot while peeling my carrots for a salad. Basically I make things harder as my "go to" , the weird thing is I can more easiky find a way to help others sort out better ways. Glad everything went to plan live it all 🌞✌️

Thank you for reminding me to not make things harder for myself than they have to be.

Love the new space and the Kam stories. It almost makes me want to get a puppy. But then that would be making things much harder for myself.

Cats and chickens are enough for now.

I'm a big believer in getting help. It's a huge treat to myself to have a cleaning service, but the stress it takes off of me to dust/vacuum/clean up is worth it.
