3 things I do every morning for my health ☀️:

3 things I do every morning for my health ☀️:
- Morning sunlight sets our circadian rhythms, helping you sleep well at night!
- Real Salt in my water for electrolytes @redmondrealsalt
- Soul time in my Bible. I’m about to finish a three-year reading plan with friends on @youversion and I love the @glorifyappofficial.

That’s it! Sunlight. Salt. Soul. ☀️

We’ve been through a thing or two together, frie

We’ve been through a thing or two together, friends! This month marks 20 years of writing for me. I started a little Blogger blog (anyone else?) in November 2003, shortly after I graduated from college. I wrote about wedding planning and floral design, and I think my only readers were my best friend and my mom. That was plenty for me, though! Back then, it felt extraordinary to get a “comment“ on a post from someone in another state or place. It was like getting an instant handwritten note. 💌

As more people found my little blog, many of those comments turned into email exchanges, phone calls, and real life friends.

Connecting with others through writing still brings me the same joy as 20 years ago! What a neat thing that we can share our lives together and learn from each other in these unique ways.

If I could have you all over—both long-time readers and new—for a garden party to say thank you, I would. 💐

My November goals, favorites from October, new Christmas books, healthy holiday sale links, my Christmas tree hunt, and a health journey note are on the blog at LaraCasey.com/blog — or click the link in my stories. ❤️

Our twilight month November is,
The evening of the year.
The brilliant summer noontide left
A pallor soft and clear.
– “November” by Ruby Archer

Spur of the moment thoughts from a 100-year old ho

Spur of the moment thoughts from a 100-year old house on a little island with no cars. I've learned this year that our bodies and souls need us to move at the pace of grace. I used to do things at the expense of my body and energy, thinking I'd eventually bounce back. After a while, chronic pain told me otherwise—and I started to listen in. Read our Health Journey story at laracasey.com/blog. 💛

We shared our story of overcoming chronic health challenges in Part 1, and today, we’re digging into part of HOW that change has happened.
