Echoes from the Wander: July 21 - 27, 2025
A week of chaos—both fun and otherwise. I suspect my birthday week made a cameo in my writing, whether intended or not. But thank you for letting me grow a little older. (The graceful part? I’m still working on that. 😌)
If you missed anything—or feel called to revisit a moment or two—here’s a recap of where we wandered last week, and a glimpse of where we may stumble next.
And, as always, know that you are my sunshine, my only sunshine … enjoy!
For the week of July 21 - 27, 2025
Echo One: What Was
My sons spoiled me with a new keyboard and a lavender-hued bouquet. Amid the onslaught of bureaucratic paperwork (I'm becoming a certified caregiver—go figure), I still carved out a few slivers of creative joy.
If you missed your chance at readerly fun, well, here you go …

Did something speak to you last week as you rambled through my ramblings?
I’d love to hear what tugged at your thoughts this week—or what you’re hoping to see next. Leave a comment, send a whisper, or beam a signal from your reading nook.
I’m always listening …
and pondering,
Jennifer
