I am a dreamer of the possible.

Some people get anxious or envious when they open a decorating magazine or hop on Pinterest. This doesn’t really happen to me. Whenever I see inspiration pictures and images of beautiful things, I don’t tend to suffer from jealousy. But instead, I’m spurred on to think, how can I bring an element of this into my life? I am eager to go, go, go.

Recently, however, I’ve been walking through a different season than usual. A season where, due to my commitments to my family, I have had to completely back off of my dreams for my home. Other than keeping it from turning it into a violent tornado, of course. This has left me with many longings for a peaceful and lovely and inspiring environment.

This has been hard on my soul. For a woman who expresses her creativity through vase of flowers on the table, and a pretty pillow in just the right spot, part of my soul has been aching. A beautiful space recharges me and energizes me. Like many others in this place, I am trying to find that happy medium where I can both serve and recharge.

Melissa’s book walked into my life at just the right time. {You know, from the sweetest decorating gal on earth? Melissa!}

Bite-sized

Do-able

Simple

Lovely

Fresh

These are the words I need to hear right now when it comes to the home that I have.

And these are the words Melissa will breathe into your home.

And if you are thirsty for these words to be breathed into your life as well, you will LOVE the end of her book. This is where Melissa shares a 31 day Challenge that is, honest to goodness, DO-ABLE!

I am joining all of these amazing and talented friends in taking this very challenge for our homes. Each of us has picked one of the challenges from Melissa’s book and made it our own.

I immediately knew which challenge was right for me in this season that I am in:

What message does my heart need right now?

Well, it just so happens, I know exactly what my heart AND my home need to hear:

SLOW. DOWN. FOR. NOW.

Here is how I brought this challenge to life for the Home that I have:

I placed, front and center, in the most well-used room in our home, the very words my heart needs to meditate on.

I hope these words are a blessing to those of you who are in a similar season:

14 “Let my lord go ahead of his servant.

I will continue on slowly, at a pace

suited to the livestock and the children,

until I come to my lord at Seir.” – Gen. 33:14

Each season has its own pace….

And for me. For now. This means a slow pace.

Bite-sized.

Do-able.

Thank goodness that Love the Home you Have delivers the message that you can find this Beauty no matter your season.

And no matter your pace.

Melissa doesn’t just talk about it. She walks you through it.

Her book, Love the Home you Have, launches TODAY! The pages are filled with grace, and wisdom, and will leave you completely inspired in the four walls you are already sitting in.
