Wow, I really resonated with so much of this, esp the old house and lack of closets/storage and appreciating so many other things about my neighborhood. I also keep dreaming about doing a little free library- they bring me such joy just thinking of them and how my children LOVE begging to take things home from them.
We had to have a gorgeous big old tree taken out of our front yard last year…. And now I’m thinking this is what we should do with that space. Thanks for the inspiration!
"Words can warm the world" I Love this so much Ashlee!! I've always dreamed of having a little free library but we live in a rural area, one day if we ever live in a neighborhood it's on my wishlist! But that spirit of genourosity is something I try to cultivate now. Some of our coffeeshops have a little free library and I have a stack of books at home I've been meaning to drop off, I'd love to write some little letters or notes of encouragement in them when i drop them off. Thank you for this beautiful reminder! i've often told my husband the local library is one of the few places where i can go and feel like there is still good in this world for the very same reasons you listed in your story.
supporting the little free libraries in your area is a great way to get involved and be part of the generosity ❤️ Just tonight I went out to mine (I noticed last week it was getting sparse and it's been pinging around in my head -- fill up the library! fill up the library!) ... lo and behold: SOMEONE ELSE HAD FILLED IT UP. I don't know who! I don't know when! But it made my day. The ministry goes both ways, you know? 😉
