“The rubber meets the road when we work out the question of how do we bring beauty and rest to life in the midst of storms. Bringing grace to the busy moments of your life is not about performance or perfection, but sustainability. Bringing peace and beauty amid the whirlwind necessitates preparation.”
Sally Clarkson
