in the winter wind
crispy flowers show off
their furs

Grow

I’ll be honest, with a nasty stomach bug that hit me and a 4-day trip (more on that next week), I’ve completed very little writing. So my grow this week is to “let it go.” If you know me, this is hard. I am a type A personality who is always pushing myself. I planned for a lighter week of writing, but not as light as it has been. I’m excellent about keeping a routine and progressing on projects, so trying to chill about week of hiccups and just letting it goooooo, is growth!
