The food was to-die-for. Seriously. And the table setting, so elegant and formal and pretty. There was a gathering room (called The Great Room) with six comfy sofas, complete with pillows and soft blankets. To lounge on, nap on, to curl up and read a book on. The people at the house are amazing, wonderful people. Love fuels that house. It's palpable, from the moment you first cross the threshold into the house.
I feel so rejuvenated. Like, I'm seeing the same, familiar things differently. I feel inspired. Really inspired. In every area of my life. Including the mundane ones. Like food. So, late this afternoon I went shopping for some baby spinach, dried cranberries, almond slivers and raspberry vinaigrette. And I made myself a bedtime snack of salad with these ingredients. I feel transformed. And I had no idea how much until I got home, and started to seep back into my regular life. I am that butterfly. And that one, too.

1. As someone who researches conspiracies, I have to smile about your choice of butterfly.
2. I spent a couple of minutes at the Linwood House Ministries website. Interesting. I'm hoping that your time there, or your journey, proves beneficial.
Oh, we definitely know how you love pink! <3 LOL x)
It sounds like you had so much fun, Roxanne! I was smiling at how you described it -- especially the food because it's making my mouth water! If it's not worth dying for, it's not awesome food, right? Couple that with an amazing bed and house, and I don't think I could imagine a more perfect place to unwind! I'm glad it rejuvenated you :) <3
Sounds like an incredible experience - I love it when something moves me like that. Very happy :-D
which room were you in? Its lovely there
Its a very good thing to dress out your everyday as you experienced there. Even at home alone, I still make a pretty meal, use my good stuff to eat with and off, use nice linens etc. A bright and tidy house is critical to my mental health - too much disorder or design discord and i get all anxiety ridden. Its a great hot soak great? Ive often thought if TSHTF and the grid went down, Id miss a hot bath more than anything. It makes me happy to see you treat yourself well and to recognize that the city is noisy and pissy -vibrant too. I do think we are meant to live a bit more integrated with nature though. xo
