“Be the flower that gives its fragrance to even the hand that crushes it” -Islamic Prophet
I believe in... simplicity, the unknown, change, being outside, less is more, positive thinking, friendship, connections, kindness, sunshine, being barefoot, doodling, quotes, cuddling, rain, clearance racks, second hand stores, laughing, traveling, art & design, taking the stairs, fruits & veggies, making lists, a good cry, chapstick, tea, music, & no regrets.
“I want to be like water, I want to slip through fingers but hold up a ship.” -Michelle Williams
![I just want you all to know how exhausted I am because of 4am drunk dials, and a 7am wake up call for work… BUT, this weekend I get to see some of my closest Decorah friends for a bachelorette party in IC, next week is my last week of work for the Petal Project, I officially have the plane tickets for my DC/NYC visit at the end of the month, and there is a “Dubuque Poetry Slam” poster hanging behind me in the office today. So, I really have nothing to be upset about. ;]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8jolpBcLG1qa9my8o1_500.jpg)
Today…
I have been sitting in a local coffee shop all morning working on some Petal Project projects and designing my friend Carol’s wedding menus and programs, but mainly I have been setting up my new blog for my time abroad in New Zealand (which you all should follow ;])! I’m trying to stay focused on the projects I have going on right now, but keep finding myself browsing NZ job search sites, and checking on flight prices instead… just 2 months away from leaving!!
This evening I am going to my first Yoga Heat class with Martha and then meeting up with my long lost buddy Courtney for our movie theater ritual!
I think it’s safe to say this is going to be a wonderful day… and that I have an incredibly beautiful life - so much to look forward to and so many amazing people to share it with. ~xL
I have the most amazing life, people in it, & things to look forward to!!!
