. feel the sunshine .

Don't just hear but listen to the birds sing

mimic their tune even when you have no tone of your own

laugh at and find joy in the silly things you do when no one is watching

twirl until you're dizzy in delight

Don't just view but appreciate the beauty of a flower

allow the wind to mess up your hair 

have a conversation with yourself 

because, after all, you do give amazing advice

and instead of turning away and shielding your eyes

lift your chin and feel the sunshine

One of my very favorite traditions of the holiday season is all the festive baking that takes place! I love to tie on my cutest apron, cover the kitchen in flour, and laugh at my horribly misshapen snowflake and gingerbread men cookies. Oops! hehe What makes it even better is getting to share all your yummy creations with the people you love. With all that said, I'm off to do some more baking now, shortbread and hazlenut cookies, mmm!

. come gentle night .

Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-browed night,

Give me my Romeo. And when I shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

~Shakespeare

. just one more chapter .

It's within the pages of books that I've found myself

♥

There's something about the weight of a book in my hands

the smell of the paper

believing that each word on every page was written for the sole purpose of my eyes seeing them

Sometimes those words tell me the most beautiful truths

 other times those words hurt and confuse me

there are times I love where an author takes me

and there are times...well, there are times I want to give an author a piece of my mind! lol

But truth is...

books make me feel something

each one teaching me a little bit more about myself than I knew before turning that first page

. possibilities .

If you've reached the day when you're not sure which path to take

You've played it safe and this is where it's gotten you

You're comfortable but know you can do and be so much more

Guess what...

You can

On the other side of the door there are so many possibilities

all just waiting for you to explore

all just waiting for you to dabble and stumble in

but also for you to dabble and succeed in

It may be scary

but you'll always wonder

All you have to do is open the door
