Hello friends! I am fresh back from the {in}courage retreat. I got home last night and I haven’t even unpacked yet!

If you’re not familiar with {in}courage, it’s an online community with daily blog posts to encourage your soul. I’m part of the group of writers–and I’m honored to be in this group! It’s Monday, how about some hellos?
