Hello Friends,

As I look out the window, everything is gray and white. A few weeks ago, I might not have known what day it was, or had any ideas for how to fill my time with things that lift my heart. But now, I know exactly what day it is — it’s Organizing Day!

Maybe organizing isn’t something that makes your heart happy, but around here, it’s a love language. And each week, we have a day dedicated to doing something that makes our lives more organized.

Our lives are a bit unstructured in winter, without the garden to fill every hour from sun up to sun down, and we found we were getting a bit depressed as one day blurred into the next, with only our Laundry Day to anchor our week. So we sat down and thought about what makes us happy. Cooking and baking, organizing and tidying the basement each got their own day every week. Don’t judge — we just love what we love!

We find that we not only feel uplifted from doing something we love, we also have more energy than before instead of less. Like, taking the time to do something that makes our hearts happy actually provides an infusion of life force we didn’t have before.

Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoy this little story about our structure, and that it encourages you to find something every day that makes your heart happy!

Sending love and light,

Jodie
