ReplyDeleteThanks girl! And um, you're pretty darn encouraging yourself! I'm always in love with your joyfulness and your photos, too. Especially how you always remember to use and create negative space (i.e. sky) in your photos. They're beautiful!

DeleteGREAT book :) also, october baby!! i sobbed through that whole movie...both times i've watched it! haha! it's a beautiful story.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great book--I've loved how much it makes me think and re-think my attitude. And even though it's been a little repetitive, I've loved how it always come back to being grateful for all that God's blessed me with. And it was actually the link-up that you and Elizabeth did that convinced me to read this book! :)
DeleteAnd I cried through October Baby, too! It definitely was a beautiful story and it's really worked me heart in terms of forgiveness!
New to your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this list! And check out your list of things you love. There are so many that I agree with, especially loving to wear cardigans, scarves, and ballet flats! That is me everyday!
Also, I have seen October Baby yet, but I've heard good things about it and I'm pretty sure they just put it on Netflix. So, I'm definitely going to have to check it out. :)
