gone fishin' (for rest and inspiration)

I recently tweeted "Late July is the Sunday evening of the summer." Every Sunday, right around 3pm, I get so bummed about "back to school and work" that I can't even enjoy what's left of the day. By the time 60 Minutes starts I'm fighting off anxiety.
As part of my Wholehearted commitment, I've decided to sink into these last few weeks of summer and enjoy every drop of unscheduled time, lazy days, and fun house projects.
Our big project this summer is a new pool! It was supposed to ready on July 4th, but we've had so much rain that we're a few weeks behind schedule. If everything goes as planned, we'll be swimming this week! By the way - they finished filling the pool on Saturday night. On Sunday morning I went out to take my first look and dropped my iPhone right over the side. I have a feeling it won't be the last phone in the pool.
I'm also going to use this time to think through a blog overhaul. I'm not going to change the look, but I am considering a new writing commitment: blog five days a week. I'm thinking that I'd include a combination of posts - my reasearch, home life, opinion pieces, more inspiration interviews, etc.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for the blog - I'd love to hear them. It would be so helpful to know what you enjoy reading!
I'll be back in a few. Hope you're having a wonderful summer.
