the beauty of pause + March recap

March was definitely one for the books. The stories and chapters of our individual lives will all hold similarity. They will mention this being a time of both pause and panic. All said, a lot has been on my mind the past couple days with the extension of mandatory social distancing. I poke fun and say all of my days seem to be merging together, but in reality I am masking fear and uncertainty. I think we all are.

But rather than giving into that fear and dwelling in something I cannot control, I am choosing to view this pandemic (as harsh of turmoil as it is) a blessing. This mandatory pause has surfaced beauty I otherwise dismiss and often take for granted in my fast pace go-mode world. It took a pandemic and mandatory order for me to slow down. Afternoon walks with Rebel, school at home and Netflix nights have me changing the lens a bit. I’ve seen Spring in color, confidence built in my children, and I’ve laughed so hard it hurt. All things I’ve missed or lost site of. Beauty is all around us, sometimes we have to pause to see it.

As days become weeks, possibly months – I encourage you to see the beauty around you. Where is it that you’ve seen beauty today? Is it in the conversations you’ve now time to devote to? Is it around the dinner table? Perhaps it’s in the calm quiet mornings spent by yourself. Change the lens with me; Let’s all see the beauty of pause.

ICYM any of my posts here in March, I’ve recapped them below. I shared several style sessions, an Instagram round up and a Friday five worth the look.
