Yesterday, Alex and I went to help put together bags for our local @blessingsinabackpack (@bayoucityblessings) event. This organization is amazing: for over 1500 children in the Houston area who are on food assistance, @bayoucityblessings sends home bags of food for their families on Fridays, so that they have enough to eat on weekends, and the kids are nourished and ready to learn come Monday morning. But because of the government shutdown, these kids are now in danger of losing their breakfasts and lunches during the school week as well, risking experience real and serious hunger, so these bags are extra important.

I share this because if you're in the United States, I bet there are children in your neighbourhoods who are going hungry, either because their parents, who are furloughed federal employees aren't earning any money now, or the kids themselves are in real danger of losing the only meals they get: breakfast and lunch at school. So if you're able, I'd like to encourage you to donate to your local food banks, or find out if your city has local @blessingsinabackpack chapters, so that you can make a real difference in these kids' lives.
Because kids shouldn't have to go hungry because their government can't get it together.

My favourite room in our house, at my favourite time of day.

I was telling a friend recently that I didn’t understand why I was afraid of wearing colour and mixing patterns on my body, when clearly I’ve got not issue with colour and mixed patterns in my home. She suggested that maybe I was worried about what people thought of me when I was out in public. Even though my initial instinct was to protest, I realized she might be right.

I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Because seriously, mixing patterns feels like home. #chookooloonksrenewal

When I was in college, I took the Myers-Briggs test for the first time. It said I was an extrovert.
But here’s a secret: I totally lied.

I answered all the questions related to extroversion/introversion the way I thought they SHOULD be answered, not the way I actually felt. Over the years, I’ve taken the test many more times, and more and more each time, I test as a stronger and stronger introvert. Make no mistake: I’m not shy. I can easily speak in front of a crowd of thousands - and even enjoy it. But alone is absolutely how I recharge. It’s why I LOVE working at home alone, and never feel lonely, not even for a second. INFJ, baby - that’s me.

But it’s also why, every week or so, I force myself to work in a coffeehouse, just to get out of the house, and force myself to interact with people. Because social is good. Social reminds us we’re all interconnected.
We NEED social. ✨
