Reading. Listening. Watching.

August 4

Hi All,

I have been thinking about this quote a lot lately. I first heard it back in May when I couldn’t stop talking to my therapist about my inability to get Taylor Swift tickets. And it is coming up for me again as we prepare for Caroline to leave in the middle of this month for four months abroad.

As is often the case in therapy, it turns out that my issues have nothing to do with Taylor Swift or the weight of a suitcase.

What I have learned about myself is that the camel part comes really easily for me. The Allah (or the universe as I interpret it) part- not so much.

When I saw today’s prompt (currently reading) for a fun Instagram photo challenge I am participating in this month- Susannah Conway’s August Break- instead of choosing a book, I decided to take a picture of this quote.

I need to be read this quote on repeat right now so I thought I would share it in case anyone else could use the reminder.

And as always, I am excited to share what I have been reading, listening to and watching this week and can’t wait to hear what you all are enjoying as well!

xo,

Stacey
