Hi friends (and new friends)! I hope you’ve had a relaxing weekend so far.
I’m not sure if you’re a pet person, but this little girl is new to our wintery Sydney home. She’s two kilos of adorable, and we’re navigating all the bumps and joys of having a little life dependent on us.
After losing our sweet Holly, we were afraid to do this all over again. But when your heart needs some healing, sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.
Bringing Evie into our home reminds me of when I was trying to make a tough decision a few years ago. A friend said something important to me—and I’ll never forget it.
Maybe it will be helpful for you, too:
It’s such a good question.
Fear blocks creativity.
It muddles our thoughts, causing us not to think clearly.
It stops us from acting for our own highest good.
It keeps us stuck in status quo.
Fear tells us to sit down. Courage invites us to move forward.
Whatever you’re facing in your life—decisions, worries, health issues, family wobbles, heartache, or anything hard—give yourself a moment to think about what would happen if you took the fear out of it.
What would you do?
Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you have a day filled with new adventures. Sending you love from my Australian home to yours, wherever you are in this beautiful world.
Love Catherine x
P.S. The fun stuff!
If you’re close to Canberra ACT and you’re interested in a purebred Shih Tzu, I think little Evie has two sisters still available. Email me for details. The owner is a lovely, responsible breeder. And if you have any puppy toilet training tips, I’d loveeeeee to hear them! Please email!
How’s your hip mobility? Mine’s not great, but I’m practicing. Here’s a quick post about Beginner Hip Mobility.
This stir-fry sauce “recipe” is fabulous! So much better than making it up as you go along (as I always do, but this is way better).
I love to bake, and this cake is the prettiest. But I think I’m making this one — Lemon Blueberry Greek Yogurt cake — for dessert for our family Sunday dinner. Yum!
