there seems to be a theme.
SIMPLIFY
but not just simplify for the sake of it.
simplify so that HE can be MORE! so that HE can have more space to work, more space to grow in my life, my family's lives, our home.
i feel like i've been primed. i'm ready for this.
my goal for the next 2 months {summer will be HERE in 2 months!} is to simplify - not just "stuff" (although that is DEFINITELY going to be a lot of it!) but everything - time, food, money. all the things that suck the life out of us.
a challenge from a friend (i am NOT here. but it did challenge me!) she's not buying anything new for their family for a YEAR!
and this post. wow. we just have NO idea here in the good ole USA.
always challenged by piper...
this isn't one of those posts where i have it figured out. or where i even have a plan to execute.
He's just working on me, and i'm working it out here.

I love the way you said it, "simplify so that HE can have more space to work, more space to grow in my life, my family's lives, our home." Perfectly stated. I'm with you friend. :-)
