Rock piled upon rock. Some smooth proving submission to a forming substance over a large amount of time. Others ragged and stubborn…all layered in a massive piled formation. Varying colors of grey, dark grey, mottled brown and pieces of moss in places. The shape takes form and it becomes alter-like. On top lays a figure. … Continue reading bound
Real. Life.
warmth
They forgive you for just about anything. They acknowledge you hate talking on the phone, so choose other ways to communicate. They don't judge or explode in anger when you...ok, me...when I am late. They ask the questions that no one else would dare to ask me. Questions that challenge me. Questions that dig into … Continue reading warmth
barefoot
Ten toes. All breathing. Not constricted by socks or shoes. That's how my feet like to live. Barefoot. At work, I am known to be without shoes except when it will freak people out. At my desk, those toes are free, breathing and happy. When I have to wear shoes...I wait until the temperature dictates … Continue reading barefoot

I love art. Lots and lots of art. I've grown up around it since I was three. Even through the moments I hated the fact my parents owned a retail art and framing store...being surrounded by art developed a very deep love for all photography, most modern art, screen printing by Warhol and old masters … Continue reading create
aviators
Confessions of the month: I wear mirrored aviators and I used to love my birthday. A few years ago I began to strongly dislike my birthday. It’s a horrible statement right?

hate
Hate is such a strong word. I find myself correcting others when they use it by asking, ‘Do you hate it? Or do you just not like it?’ It really has to do with a lot of emotion and passion about whatever you are directing the hate towards. I hate the sun when it burns … Continue reading hate
blood ties
Family: Love and complication interwoven with a healthy mix of surrender and humility. I get the honor of being the 'oldest' cousin. Sometimes it is a pain in the ass, but other times it means you get to see these amazing small people turn into even more amazing adults...beards and all. Labor Day weekend is … Continue reading blood ties

I value friendship. A lot. I value trust. A lot. I value being known. A lot. I value grace. A lot. And all of these things fold together for me when it comes to my best friends. However...I am a complete asshole when it comes to maintaining long distance friendships. I hate talking on the … Continue reading known
life
Life is precious. Life is beautiful. Life is also undeserved, and most of us throw away the gift of life that was given. Today is a day you have a new opportunity to grab life by the horns. Refocus. Renew. Center around a new purpose. I saw so many faces at church today that blessed … Continue reading life
help
So this blogging every day thing for the 40 days of lent was actually 46 days long, who knew. And today I could go with the whole, ‘I am really bad at asking for help…’ blog post, but no. You are getting something else! This blogging idea emerged when we saw a photo that Rethink … Continue reading help
