May wrap up

This month’s calendar was packed! The highlights were certainly the events and exhibitions by a mile!

While I share less these days… I felt pulled to share such an inspiring experience with some of our day at the Da Vinci exhibition!

With a new puppy in the family… I’ll be leaving this month’s wrap up here to catch up on rest. So… until next time… I’ll leave you here with our list of reading, listening, activities and viewing for the month.

Quick key focus / thought from the month…

Worry less. Thank & listen more. Keep it simple. Have discipline and thank yourself later! 🙏🏼💕☺️
