After a week offline with family and snow, we came home to this tiny mystery living in our front yard. I still have no clue who or what she is...any suggestions?

After a lovely weekend spent working hard, we left without much to show for it. This weekend was one of those all-prep-no-results trips, which are both productive and mildly unsatisfying...especially when you leave the place looking less built than when you arrived! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️😉

BUT. Despite there being little progress to show for our work (just yet), I’m reflecting on the skills and patience that are going into these finishing details. I look now at decisions I made, cuts I made and the home I made with more experience and knowledge. I would do so many things differently, but doing what I could at the time is exactly what got me to where I am now. There’s no way I could’ve taken on the task of finishing the tiny any moment sooner than it arrived. I am so much more confident and capable than when I started and I am proud of seeing my skills develop. And so, even on weekends like this, I’m remembering to enjoy the time spent learning and my ability to hone in on the finer details.

While I can’t always see the progress in front of me, I feel it in my hands. And I know that regardless of what I see, that experience is mine to keep. 💜🏡🤲🏻

In a world where we often feel powerless, community is an empowering space to start for making change. It’s bigger than the individual, so the changes are more effective. But it’s also within our reach and we can all have a strong influence on our community right away.

Relationships and conversations help ideas to grow and spread, this happens naturally in a strong and well connected community. But these connections can be few and far between in our modern, busy lives, where money and faceless shops now provide us with most things people used to trade or share. Without the interdependence, the sharing of resources and the relationships that villages and small towns used to have, we have to find new ways to connect with our communities.

I could write so much on the power of community - it’s my source of hope among the despair at the moment. Last night was our first community dinner - 17 people from all walks of live coming together to share a space and a meal. We made new friends, reconnected with old ones and shared conversation and connection with those in our community. When we open our homes and ourselves to make these kinds of spaces, magic happens. 💜
