Morning Sunshine ☀️

Weekday mornings I wake up to the sound of my alarm.
It’s early.

My body doesn’t really want to, my sleeping brain doesn’t really want to.
But I don’t give them time to have an opinion.
I pop right up.
A few steps out of bed and I remember why I love this routine.

It lets my day start in peace instead of chaos. And that means the rest of my house gets to wake up that way too. (Hey ladies, we set the tone don’t we?!)

I have time to hydrate.
Time to get protein in.
Time to exercise, move and stretch.
Time to pray, read my Bible and devotions.
Time to make breakfast for my kids.
Time to say hi to you.

It’s worth it. The hard lasts for a second upon waking and the joy lasts all day.

And I get to see views like this.
Sunrises over the lake.

Then weekends i set no alarm and linger longer waking up slowly.

Psalm 5:3

Just a bit on my mind + from my heart this morning. I pray it encourages you. Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.

CABIN BOUND

Sometimes, the best way to hear God’s voice is to step away from the noise of the world and find a little quiet in the beauty of nature. 🌲

Where can you find quiet in your day? Where can you retreat? You may be able to plan a little getaway to a cozy cabin or you may simply carve out space in your day, where you can be more still. A walk. Curled up with a view into your backyard. A picnic table at the park. Under a blanket on your porch. Remember that you are not only seeking rest, you’re chasing after your God-given purpose.

As you are running after your dreams, aligning with God’s plan for your life, and trusting His timing, keep going. Your calling is powerful. The journey is just as beautiful as the destination, and every step you take is part of His perfect plan for you. Don’t lose heart.

Take a moment today to pause, reflect, and listen. He’s guiding you, step by step. You’re “cabin-bound” to rest, but also to rise! ☀️

And happy ! Thanks Diane Van Horn Camp Chatcolet Lake Life campmidcentury

Things we hear can stay with us for a lifetime.

A quote, a sermon, a compliment. They can make an impact, give encouragement and motivate.

Years ago I heard this one, “Dreams don’t have deadlines.” And it’s stuck. Thanks LL Cool J for DDHD.

We aren’t too old.
We aren’t past our prime.
We aren’t done yet.
We can try again.

Let’s put fresh perspective on our dreams.

What is something you have started, tried, begun moving toward that was on your heart for a while, but you gave it a go anyway. Despite your age, despite the time it may take to learn something new. What “deadlines” have you ignor

Hey ☀️,
Back to school isn’t just for the kids!

On today’s Northwoods Living with Kristin on Channel 12, I shared a few ways we grown-ups can embrace that back-to-school feeling too. One of the simplest is to start packing a lunch again.

Remember the fun of a new lunch box and deciding what you were going to pack inside? There are actually some pretty grown-up reasons to bring that habit back:

• Save money. Those quick lunches out add up fast.
•Make healthier choices. When you pack ahead, you get to decide what goes in before you’re hungry and grabbing whatever is easiest.
• Waste less food. Leftovers suddenly become tomorrow’s lunch instead of something forgotten in the refrigerator.
•Save time. No driving somewhere, waiting in line or trying to decide what sounds good.
•Make lunch feel like a little ritual. Pack something you really enjoy, find a pretty spot, step away from your desk and actually take a lunch break.

And because a new lunch box was always one of the best parts of back-to-school shopping, I found some great grown-up lunch boxes too! I linked several of my favorites on my LTK. https://liketk.it/6kNFz

Maybe this fall, we borrow a little inspiration from the kids. New routines. Fresh starts. Packed lunches. And perhaps even a new lunch box.

❤️, KL

P.S. Who else is ready to start packing a lunch again?
