In the course of a week of work, we strive to get to the weekend and exhale from all of the days work. This ritual of winding down, and relaxing has been at the core of my life from childhood. I watched my parents work hard all week long, and then relax and unwind Saturday mornings, by reading the newspaper, cover to cover, enjoying a cup of coffee, watching mindless tv, or just hanging out around the house with the family.
We will be starting a weekly series, Simply Saturdays in February to highlight the ritual of slowing down, taking it easy, enjoying life, and exhaling.
The Simply Saturday series is about making time for the little things, and taking time to pause and reflect. In our busy hustle and bustle, we often get overwhelmed by all the things that compete for our time and attention.
I have been fortunate to spend my days, with young children and families, who remind me that time moves fast, and that it's the moments that matter. To capture moments we taken pictures, we tell stories, and we share our experiences. In those stories what we are really talking about are simple things that make us smile, and treasure everyday life. That's what Simply Saturday is about.
We will tell of simple stories, share pictures of moments, and share our experiences. This month the focus is on acts of kindness, and displays of love. So here we go......

This week I fulfilled a Pay it Forward challenge, by mailing a care package to a friend, Kali Schofell. As a mom, I remember the difference a day makes, and how knowing that others care and understand, got me through the day. I had as much fun shopping for the items, and filling the custom box, as Kali had receiving it.
Simple Lesson:
Take time to share joy and honor friendships both near and far.
Live Simply, Live fully, Live Life
