We will be swimming in a sea of bees, blossoms, and perfume by next week.) Katie would make my heart smile each mor...

This is the perfect episode to grab a coffee and journal, sit in the sun and get lost in two friends having a conversation about something they love. I loved getting to talk with Barefoot and Thankful's creator Anne Smith. We get lost in a discussion around mindfulness, living small and parenting. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed connecting.

Peace and Gratitude Luke
