3-6... the other side of "30".

I'm 36... crazy. I'm officially on the "other side of 30"... and it feels strangely wonderful. When I hit 35, I felt this sense of contentment... but this year, I've focused on the words "margin" and "embrace"... In this season I'm in, it's easy for me to become overwhelmed easily. I've allowed more margin in my life (not everything needs to be clean... not everything needs to get done right away... not everything goes swiftly on outings... not everything needs to be a yes...etc.). At the same time, I'm learning how to embrace the crazy.

There are these lyrics in a song, that go, " So trade that typical for something colorful... And if it's crazy, live a little crazy.." It's beyond fitting for where I'm at... Embracing the crazy...the colorful, I can do.

Pin It!


  1. Happy Birthday, Karen! I have to admit that when I looked at the photo of you (with your fingers up) my eyes went straight to see the "baby bump". You look fantastic! Your babies, All of them, are so beautiful. It has been an incredible journey to watch. Hugs - Jo
