Are you afraid to float in the salty waters? Or do you stand on the waters edge looking in, afraid of what lurk below the surface? Afraid of what you can’t see. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe just dive in and see what happens.

I wrote a blog post today about my dad and seashells. I won’t go into it all here, because it was so complicated and simple all together that I couldn’t do it justice. Go give it a read if you’d like (link in profile.) if not, I’ll leave you with this - be vulnerable enough that you can find beauty in the smallest of things. And be stubbornly, stupidly and unapologetically yourself.

I see the World.

July 06, 2015 in family, general, portraits

I see the World right here. It stops and I am paralyzed for a moment.

I see lost treasures and hidden coves with magic inside. I see undiscovered places and healing hearts not longing or wanting for anything at all in the world. Mostly, I see love and a belonging that is unparalleled.

My hope for us all is this - to simply see beauty and love and kindness in as many places as we can. And then, when we can't see it, we have to make it for ourselves and share it with the world.

Create love. And share it. Isn't it that simple?

Cheating Spring.

March 04, 2015 in 365, general, life, seasons

I am cheating Spring a little this year. Coaxing it out a little earlier than I should. I simply can't help it. I am done with winter. I am done with hibernation and slumber. I can't wait for the vibrant colors pouring out of every flower bud. I am excited for the smell the spring rain splashing onto the parched winter grasses. I am so hopeful for sunshine and breezes blowing my hair around my face and warming my chilled winter skin. It's time. For all of it.

So hurry up spring. I am marking my front row seat for your spectacular show.
