when you see your future in front of you
do you look forward or back?

“A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow”
-Anna Mary Robertson Moses

Crown of Braids

beautiful braids: conjuring images of spring picnics, music festivals, and frolics through fields of wildflowers

Simple Pleasures

Life's simple joys are often what makes it worth living. They consist of where we go when we're feeling sad, who we surround ourselves with for a good laugh, or what brings a smile to our faces. Where would we be without the little things?

Simple Pleasures:

dipping my toes in cool water
taking a pretty polaroid
cashmere sweaters
lifting my face to the rain
picking a perfect flower
robin's egg blue
squishing my toes in the sand
soft chiffon
crying from laughter
seeing the sun stream through the curtains

Rejection

It happens to everyone.

Why it occurs is insignificant --
Our reactions, however, speak volumes

will you fall down or rise above?

Sometimes I Think I Can Fly

I'll touch the moon
Touch the sky
I don't need a destination
Just to feel my feet leave the ground
Weightless.

Teacups and Rose Petals

What pretty things surround you?
Take a moment to look around

We often get so caught up in analyzing and searching for meaning, that we forget to step back and take in our surroundings. We pass by the beauty in our lives without a second glance, too eager to pursue the future. Let's close our eyes, take a deep breath, and truly experience now.

Beach House

The sun warms your face
The sand crunches softly between your toes
The breeze gently flutters the curtains
The waves lap at the shore
At the beach house

Springtime

springtime calls for:

a dance in the woods
bicycles
hair braids, daisy chains
and paper cranes

with a handful of berries

Simplicity is Beautiful

Sometimes things are at their finest when the outer layers are stripped away, the makeup is washed off, and the walls lose all decoration -
