a treasure worth sharing

i have a love of thrift/opportunity/second-chance stores; there are hidden treasures there to explore and unearth. my first-choice option would be to go on my own and just get lost in the books. sometimes i flick open a book and am transported to a place and time and a familiarity that's hard to explain...

A song for today

Why hello... it is has been a while.

I think I feel like I am ready to do this with small, slow steps. Documenting the happenings of life and the ebb and flow around here.

Today I happened upon this song which tended to my soul.

To hear the words that 'This is not the end' is what I needed to hear for a very sad situation in my family.

If you needed to hear this today I hope it encourages you too.

Shout-it-out! The Sea in Between

I feel compelled to share this with you. Josh Garrels is an amazing artist, role model and his music is one of our very favorites.  Josh Garrels: The Sea In Between - Trailer from Mason Jar Music on Vimeo.

~ Where Children Sleep ~

After reading Mallory's 'Things I'm Loving' list I followed her link to a photography website.

Amazing! It seriously is awe inspiring.

The artist's name is James Mollison. His pics are raw and honest.

The above image comes from his series titled 'Where Children Sleep'.

Quickly go see. It's totally worth it.

Thanks Mallory!

Just for fun.
