Hi. It has been quite some time since I have written anything on this beautiful blog. I was so excited at the time to jump all in and.. well I can’t really tell you what happened or why I froze up. Cold feet perhaps? Between now and then, a lot of life has happened. That in-between time was not necessarily bad, but it can be quite hard and intimidating to learn something brand new when there is so much other mental clutter taking up space in your brain. Not to mention the physical clutter that can start to add up and cause distractions as well. This year I am continuing to work on de-cluttering my home (I am extremely proud to say that I got rid of a TON last year) and I also need to work on releasing those things that are out of my control. For someone who has serious control issues, that is much easier said than done. I do find that diving into projects and things that I enjoy bring me so much happiness and provides a sense of release. It is almost meditative. I am really looking forward to sharing more of those home and craft projects with you this year that I know you all seem to enjoy.

I did not have much of an agenda for this blog today other than to come out of blog hibernation and say hello, and I still have this space on my mind and my heart. It is scary to put myself out there, especially in a world that is so quick to judge. My hope and my prayer is that my happy place will bring inspiration and joy to you and become your happy place as well. With that said, I am going to cuddle up with my dog and a good book and enjoy the rest of this snow day that adults so rarely get!

Love from the Heartland,

Jenn
