peace :: priorities
If I have seen and learned this once...I have seen and learned it a million times. The constant fight to keep what is real, pure, everlasting, and significant before and above the superficial, fake, dust to ashes, status quo.Culture tells us to rage, primp, plump, add, take away, live for the moment, fit in, stand for nothing, fall for everything....and I for one will fight against all of that until the day I die.Give me peace like a river that floods my soul..... any day.{image via pinterest here}xo,Barb
it's thanksgiving :: sweet and bitter
Thanksgiving is my favorite day of all holidays.....and how amazing is it to actually have a day set aside to think about what we have to be thankful for and the many many good things that we have.Let's be thankful, joyful and content....no matter what.Trust sooner, and rest in the knowledge that "what is for you will not pass you by".Happy Thanksgiving!xo
the old and the new
Never stop learning. Keep moving. Keep Creating. Do the work.

a little kindness
My mom always told me "if you wanna be interesting, be interested." I try to remember this with each person I encounter; I try to remember to show genuine interest in their lives. When we take a closer look at the folks around us, there is so much to learn. Plus, a little kindness can go a long way.

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment it can be hard to not let the pressure boil over and out and onto those around us. It is in times like these that it is important to remain humble, exercise mind over matter, stay focused on the task ahead, and know that life is full of seasons....that all come to an end.
Let your sparkle and joy be the thing that others remember about you, and may we not wound others because of our own discomfort or frustration.
Love.

I am three days away from the final deadline for Knack book two, and even though the tiredness and stress are present......the excitement is even greater!
So thankful for this wonderful opportunity, and I do not take it lightly. I appreciate each and every one of you so very much.
Make it a "heck yes" day today!
