Beauty from Ashes

"I want to watch all my bridges burn. Stand in the rain until the pages turn. Dance in the light of a lesson learned. I want to leave everything that hurts, never go back to the way we were. Set it on fire, watch it burn."

Dress: Gianni Bini from Dillards; Shoes from Kate Spade

Bows Are A Girls Best Friend

I love this new dress from Kate Spade. She added a black bow to the front to make it feminine and unique. And I always love a feminine touch! Paired the dress with my new pair of black Ferragamo pumps. I love this look because it is classic and dressy, it wont go out of style. Perfect for a brunch or a dinner at the country club.

Hope

These past few weeks have been challenging for me. But I do know everything happens for a reason. Someone once said it is all about your perspective, changing the phrase "everything happens to me" to "everything happens for me" . When you change one simple word, the whole mindset shifts. I have found that to be very helpful these past few weeks. Have hope today. If you woke up today you were given another chance to spread happiness, love, and hope to the world. That is what I cling to. Hope.

Out To Sea

While in Boston I went on a whale watch. Had a pretty close to perfect day on the water. I saw around six whales, such beautiful creatures. It is a must if you have never been.

Trip to Canada

Montreal. So much history in this city. And as history has shown us, when all the dust settles we can rise up and make something beautiful of all the broken pieces.

Travel Thoughts

Took a trip to Montreal, Quebec this month.. It is a beautiful city. I loved walking around and experiencing something completely different and meeting new people. I realize this life is short and as I sat in a park sipping some coffee this quote just kept replaying in my mind. "This is your life, this is your story. And when all is done and said may you live with no regret." Travel. Explore. Love. I hope my life outlives me.

Dance Upon Disappointment

" Awake my soul to sing with Your breath in me, I will worship. You taught my feet to dance upon disappointment and I will worship. "

One thing I have found is that you will be disappointed or let down in this life, But with Him I have found the strength to dance in the midst of it all.
