Falling In Love...

A few things that won't leave my heart this week...

I read her blog religiously. Here are pieces of her story via Twitter...

Lucy: "I just need to feel brave for a few minutes, and then I can do it."

And then Not even 8am and I'm already having the worst mommy day of my life. I hate it when I blow it big.

And then I'm told that pierced ears closing overnight falls in the category of honest mistake. But oh, if you could have seen the mourning...

My heart's just breaking for them both. Isn't yours?

This made me stop for a while. And then think of what kindness I could share myself for a lot longer than that.

Two things about this giving project. One, it's goose-bump wonderful. And two, I never knew the lovely legend behind swallows; that their purpose was to carry a sailor's soul to heaven.

And on a much lighter note...I WANT THIS! 

There. All of this week's favorites that have been sending me. Will you tell me what's been sticking to your heart this week? I'd love to know! Rooftop pool found among his charming pins first.

Falling In Love...

I'd love to share a few lovely corners of the internet that have been keeping my mind away from everything that's been on my mind lately. I'm not a big believer in distraction - I love nothing more than to be fully and happily engaged - but sometimes reality just needs an interruption. Here are a few...

Tomboys. And everyone else with an inherent sense of confidence, rebelliousness and adventure. Those are some pretty hot qualities, aren't they?

We could all use a heartwash. May it be the one truth you never forget. Yes, please.

How many of us work to live? Probably too many. I think I'd rather live to live. And love it every step of the journey. Which is why I could read this over and over again. I love happy stories. (See also confidence, rebelliousness and adventure above!)

When salads and fresh veggies and healthy soups just aren't doing the trick, the grilled cheese from Food + Lab will. Gruyere, Tellegio and Raclette on Five-Grain with Carmelized Onion and Grainy Mustard. I like to think it has healing powers.

There's nothing like a kiss from your mom. I know that has healing powers.
