Life’s Little Detours

There is nothing like enjoying a spontaneous beach day in the middle of September. Yesterday morning, Jeremy (my husband) and I dropped everything we were doing, hopped in the car, and drove to the Indiana Dunes. We found a spot in the shade, rested, and listened to the waves roll in and out for a few hours. It was an ideal day… inspired by a whim.

It can be easy to write your whims off as flights of fancy, but these seeming detours from routine often represent exactly what we need. This week, I invite you to trust your intuition and allow yourself to enjoy life’s little detours.
