When I started here I had hoped I would post often but clearly I haven’t. There are always reasons, but there’s no point in beating myself up about it so I am just moving forward from here.

The world is in chaos, in crisis really and it can be so dang hard to look away. On one hand I feel obligated to pay attention. To know what is happening and even almost obligated to fret about it all. On the other I just want to bury my head and hide. I want to read and sew and photograph beautiful things. To embrace the beauty of the every day, the ordinary and mundane. Right now though I have to walk the balance beam of staying informed and maintaining my mental health. We all do. I don’t know about you but I’m terribly wobbly some days. Still, I’m maintaining.

I took these [phone] photos this past weekend at a gathering and I love them. Here’s to embracing beauty wherever and whenever we can.
