Tuesday, I love thee.

When I sit down to blog or edit I search for the perfect song that will act as my muse. I find that I am often scanning through playlists and am brought back to The Civil Wars. Listening to this band for me is akin to gliding down a river in a boat with a…

* My Favorite Things * Best of BEAUTY Basket » Heart of my Heart - [...] it’s SO in right now! And I never thought I would like gray polish UNTIL I saw this one. Kristin got it and wore it the other week and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her cute nails. It’s [...]

A not so stranger.

So. How often do you start your sentences or thoughts off with so?  I think I do it often. The word itself is used either as a conjunction or an adverb. Meaning to a degree or thus. I like that. So, I received a gift from a reader a few weeks ago. This wasn’t just…

Getting ready.

It’s raining here. We need the rain. There is something about the rain. It drops. Little splashes of water hit the pavement and disperse. It washes and removes the day’s residue.  I am packing for the singles conference at The Village. I am listening to my itunes library and I am trying to not skip…

Kristin Weber - I couldn’t resist commenting. I was writing a blog about church singles conferences and was looking for an image for the blog and typed in “singles conferences” into google image and yours was one of the ones that popped up, and I saw Village Singles Conference, which is the church I go to, and I went to that conference.

Small world…except it’s not cause the village is huge. Anyhow, just thought you would like to know your picture is all over the web =)

I skip my i-pod, radio station, etc. too. Like a crazy amount.

I toss..& I..turn.

Last night I crawled into bed and tossed and turn with each thought that was in my mind.  I had to be up at 4:30am.  I watched the night slip away the morning hours glared back at me on my iPhone. I didn’t drink caffeine yesterday and I am not drinking it today. It is…

Sam Jones - I feel this way all the time about my paintings, my pottery, my art & my music. You can do it sister! The LORD has put His heart in You. You were “created to create” as I like to say about myself. Love you.

Let me be honest.

I have had a cold for about a week. When I get sick, I think. I lay around and think. Last week all I could think about was failure and my fears of it and how hard it is to admit when you are wrong or weak.  It is so hard to admit when you…

izehi - I love your honesty & authenticity!

The weather made me do it.

Today started out as one of those days. Maybe I could say that the weather made me do it.. or maybe it was listening to this song on repeat, or maybe it was waking up at 4:30am only to retreat fully dressed in my Starbucks attire back into my 600 thread count sheets that were…
