Her arms are crossed, but not closed. They are protective. Grounded. Certain in a way she doesn’t fully understand yet. Her smile is soft, but her eyes are steady. She is still becoming. If my younger self could see me now, I think she would study me carefully. She would look for proof. Proof that the risks were worth it....]]></description><link>https://burrowsdonnette1288.wixsite.com/her-simply-aligned-l/post/a-l-e-t-t-e-r-a-c-r-o-s-s-t-i-m-e</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a9baeeb5dd05873346ad8a</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:05:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77c3f5_86245b35a7eb4352aab2e3b97780667b~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_720,h_917,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Donnette Burrows</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Embrace Simplicity: The Art of Enough and Choosing Simple on Purpose]]></title><description><![CDATA[What's one area of your life that's become more complex than you actually wanted it to be? There's a moment a lot of people describe — usually somewhere between the third storage unit and the fourth productivity app — when something quietly breaks. Not dramatically. Not in a way that makes for a good story. It just becomes clear, with a kind of low-grade exhaustion, that more has not been working. That moment is where simplicity begins. Not as a trend, not as an aesthetic, and certainly not...]]></description><link>https://burrowsdonnette1288.wixsite.com/her-simply-aligned-l/post/embrace-simplicity-the-art-of-enough-and-choosing-simple-on-purpose</link><guid isPermaLink="false">699f7d46dcfe76b0f2d37918</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 18:00:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77c3f5_33f721e5ddad4284ac34bd2ba1fefd17~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Donnette Burrows</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Honest Kind of Love - What It Means to Love Without Losing Yourself ]]></title><description><![CDATA[February has a way of making love feel loud. Hearts in store windows. Grand gestures. Perfectly worded captions. Everything polished and glowing just enough to make you wonder if you're doing it right. But this season has been teaching me something different. When love is honest, it's much quieter. It doesn't always come with flowers or flawless communication. Sometimes it shows up in small, steady ways that don't photograph well. Sometimes it looks like a boundary. Sometimes it looks like...]]></description><link>https://burrowsdonnette1288.wixsite.com/her-simply-aligned-l/post/the-honest-kind-of-love-what-it-means-to-love-without-losing-yourself</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6996a8d3aab309115cb31101</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2026 18:00:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77c3f5_568e513a6fd145289326f184ad50e0a6~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Donnette Burrows</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prioritizing Wellness in a Busy Life: Consistency and Balance]]></title><description><![CDATA[Balancing family, work, and daily responsibilities often leaves little room for personal wellness.

One minute you’re laughing at something your child says, and the next you’re wondering how you became the referee, the chef, the therapist, and the financial planner all in the same hour. Resilience, I’ve learned, isn’t some personality trait reserved for the “put-together” moms. It’s a skill.

The first three years became our foundation years . A season where everything slowed down on purpose so we could build something stable, intentional, and rooted. We focused less on speed and more on structure . Less on appearances and more on alignment. We learned the systems. We rebuilt routines. We adjusted expectations.
