SHRINK TO GROW

#100daysoflivingAWAKE day 39.

In Beth Moore's book, 'Chasing Vines', she talks about how in order to produce the best grapes it is very important to prune the vines. "Growing can look a lot like shrinking" -- in other words, there are times in our life where sometimes it might feel like you are going completely backwards in order to go forward. It's an interesting process, but one that is important to be aware of & not be afraid of.

This photo sums up what I have been needing lately : sunshine + lake Michigan + one more essential thing (that isn't on the pillow) -- my family & friends. I honestly don't know what I would be without those who encourage me to be my best self & support me no matter what. Whether it feels like I may need to shrink or fly to grow, there is no judgement -- just love. The sunshine & water, well that's just an added bonus for my soul.
