How about Shanda-pleasing?
What would that look like?
It would look simple, and genuine. Relational. Glorifying to God. Grateful, reserved, unseen, known fully by only a select few. Quiet. Life in the kitchen, living room, at the art table, in the laundry room, at the piano, outside, in the forest, on paths, with trees and insects and birds, plants, in all weather.
Music, books, making a home. Conversations, exchanging ideas and things that matter. hugs and kisses, rest, nourishment, peace.
Feeding the hungry and loving everyone who is safe to love and needs what I have to offer, as a gift, my heart.
These sort of things, and more, please me, and delight me.










I love this girl so very much. She is the air I breathe and the calm that keeps me grounded.
I love you so much.
What a beautiful, thoughtful post. I just popped something IN the post for you, finally. This was so encouraging to me. ♥️
