This week, like so many others, has been a challenging news week. I’ve been trying to maintain a balance of staying plugged-in (and active) and also quiet and finding space for rest and care. It can be discouraging, but I’ve found so much joy and beauty in Instagram lately, especially in the pages of our hashtag challenge feeds. You all have shared so many stunning moments of natural beauty, serenity and hope. This one (of Monarch Butterflies at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden) taken by @mol_dek (Molly Dektar) is a favorite of mine, and I hope it will bring you the same sense of peace and love that it brought to me when I saw it. Until Monday, here’s to a wonderful weekend! Some of our favorite links from around the web and Design*Sponge this week are below! xo, grace
