LIFE.IS.GOOD.
What might be exponentially greater than being pleasantly surprised by others, is to be pleasantly surprised by yourself. Jumping out of a plane 8 days from tomorrow. LIFE.IS.GOOD.

Fall Cleaning
It was time for an update. I have a new look to my blog for the season. Look around. Enjoy 🙂 In other news, I had a great time with my mom this weekend. She came up for a 24 hour visit. Playing the role of a wedding date this upcoming Saturday. I love weddings!…

It's a Statement, Not a Reminder.
I decided today, while looking at my newly purchased ring, that the sentiment (“Love Life”) is my personal statement, not a reminder to myself. I really like that 🙂

Sometimes, You Need Those Small Purchases.
Today I bought a ring. $20 sterling silver – in that respect, nothing special. But here’s the thing: On the outside, it has black cursive carved on the front that reads “Love Life.” On the inside, “Be Brave.” Naturally, I had to get 🙂

Fall and I went for a walk today. Our steps fell into an effortless pattern (like they always do) as we admired the outdoors together. I’m grateful for fall. We’re genuine friends, the kind of old friends who go months without seeing each and feel as if no time has passed at all. It’s nice to be…

Flight Paths
I just took the moving walkway past a bronze statue of a bald eagle, body stamped with the print of our national flag, wings outstretched over valiant soldiers. I’m wandering the Minneapolis airport looking for my gate. I have come to the realization that I have three insatiable lusts/cravings/passions in life. They are as follows:…

QuickPress
Life feels rushed. Life should never feel rushed. It’s too short as it is. But there it goes. Like grains of sand through my fingers. I wish I could slow it down. Appreciate the moments. Breathe deeply. Perhaps the most frightening thing about growing older is that it continues forward at an increasing rate.
