Unsurprisingly, the first week of school has things running a bit behind in the Hippie Hut. In addition to all of my classes hitting the ground running, unfortunately everyone here has not been well this week. Bug is home with bronchitis – she rarely gets sick but, oh my word, she is sick sick and it is terrible – and my husband has had some incredibly painful back issues that his doctor is still working to sort (he had a major back surgery when we first met and it is an ongoing source of major pain for him).

All prayers and good vibes and warm fuzzies for healing for my precious family are greatly appreciated. ❤

With so many things going on and weather changes and. . . Saturday? Mercury Retrograde? A quarter moon? (who the heck really knows). . . I’m flaring as well.

I’m also running behind on our Fighting Words Friday but I don’t want to miss it each week because I do think it’s important. I had actually already chosen this week’s verse last week because it is one so dear to my heart – but I can’t think of one better than this when we find that life is a bit harried and out of sorts.

 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. – Hebrews 6:19a (NIV)

It’s such a beautiful and comforting thought.

The Voice paraphrase translation says it in such a lovely way as well:  ^“That hope is real and true, an anchor to steady our restless souls.” ❤

May we all find hope and peace in Him.

Be well, everybody. Take care of yourselves and each other. I’ll see you tomorrow to wrap up the 14 days of 44 – as turning 44 is almost here. ❤

Grace and Blessings.
