Today Was Something

We headed to the beach today: it was epic. Mud on feet, salt in my hair, sand on my skin, sun on my face, all combined with a majestic view of the coast. The view was worth the hard work of getting to it. I loved it.

Just a little FYI- you can now follow my blog by email and get notifications when I publish something new. Just head over to my sidebar and scroll down until you see the Follow By Email section, submit your email and voila! The instructions are foolproof. 

Crafty

As some of you know, I am a huge DIYer. If I can make it with my own hands- I will. This past week I got to do a little bit of DIY in my room- I created this super easy to make jewelry hanger, and a headboard for my bed that has my most treasured memories on it. Granted the headboard turned out crooked, but for now I am satisfied (will redo after finals). This is just a glimpse of the DIY I have done in my room, maybe in the future I will show more of what I have. 

Encouragement For The Week of May 18

BE KIND. We forget that the important people in our life need to feel just that- that they are important and they are valued. This doesn't require extensive planning or elaborate schemes- a simple journal, freshly picked wildflowers, their favorite chocolate or a handwritten letter: how hard are any of those?! Tokens of affection are so small and so easily doable- lets learn to be considerate and to constantly think of others (which also often happens to be the perfect remedy for self pity.) Repay your kindnesses by doing a kindness for someone else. BE KIND.  “I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I  can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.” Been hanging out with this cool guy a lot lately- gotta say that I am quite enjoying that while we are still young and don't have the world's responsibilities on our shoul

Happy Mother's Day!

Best Friend

Never underestimate how much you can learn from your brother. I am so blessed to have found such a good friend in my brother. It's so awesome to watch him grow and become a man of God. He is such a caring and considerate person- love him to death. Oh yeah- today is his birthday :)
