Today I stumbled upon this street. The buildings painted bright shades and a fountain dedicated to Mary. It seemed a perfect reflection for Ash Wednesday. To take time to see the beauty in the world, and remember. I have a book called The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron that challenges artists to set aside time to take their inner artist on dates. I like this concept, and know sometimes we need to be intentional. I also love the idea of stumbling upon beauty, finding art in the everyday and inspiration around the corner.

Breathe
I haven't blogged in a few days because we were on a retreat in the mtns. So amazing to wake up each morning and walk outside and see snow covered hills, barren trees and open space. It did something for my soul....not to mention the break from coffee was probably much needed.
Here's a couple pics from our cabin....so beautiful.
Now onto ideas for tonight- I know some of my girlies are addicted to Ron Pope ...especially this song. It always seems to help if they're familiar with the song. If anyone has any other creative ideas- shoot em at me.
This is one of my favorite blogs to follow for a couple of reasons...first, the story grips your heart and makes you stare a little longer at the beautiful moments in life. Then there's her kids, their gorgeous smiles, their free falling curls and their love of life. And of course her eye for photography- there's something quite raw and vintage about her shots....so go ahead and check her out...

I'm in need of inspiration for an office...here's a few photos that I love, but I'm finding it hard on deciding between dark woods and going all neutral/white...whatta you think?
This man is nothing short of inspiring. His quotes always seem to strike something deep in my soul...somewhere deeper than life. Here are a few of my favorites that I've come across in past years.
"Anyone can slay a dragon...but try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero."
"I wish you could have been there for the sun and the rain and the long hard hills. For the sound of a thousand conversations scattered along the road. For the people laughing and crying & remembering at the end. But mainly, I wish you could've been there."
Don't you hear it? She asked & I shook my head no & then she started to dance & suddenly there was music everywhere & it went on for a very long time & when I finally found words all I could say was thank you."
I will add more quotes as time goes by, but for now these are the ones that are soaking up my time. Allowing me to feel the grief of losing someone special and the sweet raw of finding life. For now I will leave you with this... doesn't the beach sound relaxing during this cold weather..... breathe in, and exhale.
