Darling Brunch

I attended Darling Magazine’s first ever “morning of conversation.” The “Darling Brunch,”, was hosted by the talented Kara of ­­Willow and Niche, assisted by Stephanie of Five by Five Catering.

Around 30 woman, mostly strangers, spent the morning enjoying great food (like the cinnamon streusel biscuits with cinnamon honey butter pictured above) and conversation around a theme of oasis, with these questions:

What practices allow you create your own oasis and find your space in the desert?

How do we release the guilt of not having a packed schedule to allow yourself the time for restoration?

We went around the table sharing our opinions and individual stories. The topic struck a cord with me. This summer has definitely felt like a desert for me, where I’ve been struggling to find creative inspiration, where in the past it has come so easily. I feel like I’ve been bombarding myself with so much information (like too much social media) that instead of inspiring me, it has left me feeling drained. I’m excited for the fall. To stop and be still. To find inspiration in myself and the simple things in life, like a long hike or by creating things with my own hands.

Thank you to Darling Magazine for creating a beautiful space for us to open and honest with each other, as woman.
