today:

I purchased cute clothes.
I hung out with my brother.
I texted friends.
I mailed ben schilling a letter.
I went on facebook.
I found inspiring quotes.
I made pretty flower arrangements.
I laughed a lot.
I saw a harvest moon.
I walked around.
I chewed some gum.
I played with a kitten.
I drove in a car.
I slept in until 10:38 a.m.
I listened to music that made me happy.
I made plans for the future.

haven't posted in awhile:

found this picture today on one of my favorite blogs, it was a nice find that made me smile and think.

do I love 'the hills' & 'the city' so much?

I should have remembered the date.

you move your hands
in such a way
that when they
rub together
I'm almost certain
that there are sparks
flying
from your fingertips.

I want to catch them
and put them in a jar
so I can look at them,
study them,
and try to figure you out
just a little bit more.

have you ever?

I've never felt this extreme feeling of rediscovery before in my entire life. My body and my mind are making me anxious for something that is on its way. I've always felt like I'm really in tune, I know that I'm really in tune, with my surroundings and things to come.

and recently, I uncovered a part of myself that I believed to be gone for good. but now, I think it's back and maybe here to stay forever. and it's a firestorm. and I feel like I'm shaking but I'm not. I thought I detested this response inside myself that (you) give me. but come to find out, I really missed it. I really love it.

man, its hot outside.

read it and love it.

I want to move to the south...

... so I can witness fireflies in real life.

that's all.

sort of in love with life

today was just one of those days where things just sort of clicked.

it wasn't a perfect day. it was hot and I ran into things and had to work and was tired. however, overall I cannot complain about a single part of my day/life.

its a constant battle and I have to remind myself daily that I have so many things to be proud of, to appreciate, to jump for joy about and to relish in.

the people in my life whether I see them everyday, like my glorious family or every other day like some of my amazing friends or if they pop back into my life every so often are THEE greatest creatures in the world and I thank my lucky stars that I have encountered them before I leave this earth.

im blessed, so very blessed.

also, things that make life worth living:

fudgesicles
night swimming
being scared, like of the dark and zombies
tank tops on boys
washing your hear with body wash(that smells AMAZING) when you run out of shampoo.
facebook (you know its true)
daydreams
fuschia nail polish
being tan
holding hands with friends
brushing your teeth

today, everything is just groovy.

if you've never heard of Glozell or watched her videos on youtube you are severely missing out:

today, I went to the crocker house creative arts center. If you do not know what that is or who jolinda crocker is then you need to and I will attach the website address at the end of this post.

I went to the crocker house to do clean up after camp. Every year jolinda crocker and her (amazing) staff, along with 60-72 kids put on a musical theatre "mini" production. This year we put together a quck 30 minuted 'into the woods'. So adorable!

However, after camp is over the house looks like a tornado went off and it takes a while to get everything back in order. After an hour or so of cleaning the place was starting to look normal again. well, as normal as it can be.

I really love the crocker house. its magical and the creativity just beams out of the walls and onto the children and its just incredible. I'm so priveleged to be able to work at such a wonderful place that is changing kids lives.


I put that picture at the top because when I came upon it it immdiately made me think of the crocker house because it really is a challenge to make a mistake at that place. everything is right and you have to power to create whatever you can imagine. which I think is rare and a true gem in the world today.

go check this place outttt:

I can't quite describe it
it may be the best thing
but
I'm scared
for the worst thing
which is most likely
the most likely thing
to happen.

I realized today
just how far
apart we are.

in body
in mind
in spirit?
sometimes
in distance
in age
in thoughts
in space

in experience
in conversation

I'm squeezing so tight
right now

now

but how easy
it would be to
just

let go.

and it's never been this way
but today
letting go

seemed like the right choice.

wow, what's it gonna be tomorrow?

david taylor told me the other day that I post so many notes on facebook and he can't keep up. so I figured I'd start a blog that I can update as many times as I want (daily) and it will be easier for mr. taylor to keep track.

he's not the only reason i'm starting this blog either:
I'm in a certain mood right now. I get these moods often where the world is a little too much for me and I feel like im dragging and need an uplift. when I get in this mood usually go on my favorite blog EVER :

kindovermatter.blogspot.com

and I look at the glorious photos and quotes they have on that site.
and then I feel 100% better.

but I have lots of photos, stories and quotes that I want to share with ya'll so that is reason #2 that I created this blog tonight

July 5th, 2010.

okay, here we go.
time to get uplifted.
