How about you? Are you light-seeking, light-avoiding, or somewhere in between?

Headphones aren't one-size-fits-all. Some block the world out. Some let more of it in.
And, as always, context matters!

What are some ways that you respond to sound in your environment(s)?

It means loving your kids enough to show up—messy, honest, tired, joyful—and everything in between. 💖
