You Decide Your Own Level of Involvement

In addition to the flurry of life changes I mentioned in my last post, my husband and I also plunged our hands into the rich, nurturing soil of a new endeavor - a yearly garden. There's something profoundly therapeutic about connecting with the earth, planting seeds, and watching them burgeon into vibrant life over time. I'm currently working on a video that chronicles our agricultural journey this year, so stay tuned for that. Another delightful rediscovery from my hiatus has been my relationship with my flute. Its origin story in my life harks back to my childhood, a time when the desire to learn an instrument sprouted in my heart. After some deliberation, my parents agreed to my request, paving the way for the arrival of my beloved student flute.

An infant no more, my darling daughter, now a spirited toddler, is embarking on the grand adventure of her second year of life. Our days together are filled with joyous exploration - sliding down the neighbor's slide, playing with bubbly froth, crafting vibrant stories on paper with her crayons, and even dabbling in a bit of painting.
