Season is for the gal who wants to dress like it matters. These ethically made dresses wear like a dream and are perfect for any season! Jessie Artigue, my pseudo big sister, is the creator of these beautiful dresses and I was so excited to work with her to shoot the new spring color, Lilac!

“The weather is always so nice here that there is nothing to stop you.” I was talking with a sweet woman named Jannet that goes to my church. She and her husband are from Minnesota and spend the winters with their children and grand kids out here in California. This week they are heading home (I am sad to see them go) and I asked her about the differences between the two states.⠀ ⠀ Without hesitating, she told me that the fast-paced lifestyle of California is the hardest thing to adjust to. Then she made the observation from above and I thought it was so profound! ⠀ As someone who tries to reclaim a slower pace of life, I found this fascinating and it bolstered my belief that syncing our lives with the seasons helps us to live in the present. ⠀ ⠀ Even though changing my soaps and candles for seasonal scents and swapping my dish towels and a handful of coffee mugs for seasonal colors and patterns, might seem small and insignificant, but that little change helps me to live a slower life and flourishing life.⠀ ⠀ Have you made this observation too? What do you think caused the face paced lifestyle of California? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I chopped my hair off. And to be honest I didn't like it at first. I didn't feel like myself and I didn't want to share with anyone. I felt like my hair wasn't representing who I was and I was upset about it. But what I realized, is that being upset about a haircut is just silly. ⠀ ⠀ A hair cut doesn't define who I am. Nor does my job. Or what others think of me.⠀ ⠀ The worth of a person is not held within their appearance or how productive they are in society. They have worth simply by being human.⠀ ⠀ And after getting used to it and figuring out how to do it - I started love the new cut. But I am thankful for the rollercoaster experience because it reminded me how easy it can be to lose sight of the things that truly matter.⠀ ⠀ Double tap if you agree!
Over our recent vacation, I realized that the more time I spend off my phone and away from my screen, the more I feel like an actual human. Since being back in the normal swing of things, I have been leaving my phone in another room and not getting it until after I have been awake for two hours. It has been a bit of an adjustment but one that is well worth it because I feel more grounded and less scattered! ⠀ ⠀ Are you like this too? I'd love to know how you set boundaries with your screen time. #christanormanlifestyle
⠀ Connect with the person you love most with this week's conversation starter: What is one thing I could do for you that would lessen your workload and give you the opportunity to have more downtime? ⠀ ⠀ You can ask your significant other this question later tonight! Tag them below so they have time to think about this before they get home! #cnpcultivateconnection
Catherine + Justin met while getting their Doctorate in Physical Therapy. They were good friends right from the get-go. During this season of life, time with friends almost always involved flashcards and highlighters. There was no sudden moment, no pros and cons list, just an ordinary day they looked up from their anatomy books and realized they were in love.⠀ ⠀ And now they are getting married! Double tap to congratulate this sweet couple!
