From Couch Potato to Trekker

By M.D. Copper on Monday, May 21, 2018

My little family is planning a backpacking adventure over the summer. Two weeks in and out of the wilderness.

This week in the Creating Margin series, we’re going to talk about relationships.

Stuck on something? Try planning around it with a ritual. ~HomespunOasis.com

This month I’m talking a lot about create white space, or margin, in different areas of our lives.
