Tulips

On Saturday afternoon, in the rain and gloom, I decided to brave the weather in search of tulips. I'm always amazed by what wonders fresh flowers can do for a space and for my mood. They cheer me up, brighten up the room, and basically make everything look up. 

I do nice things for myself once in a while, and I call it "dating myself." The idea is that I do something on my own that makes me feel good, like getting a pedicure or a mid-day latte. I'd recommend trying it out sometime - it's good to be able to rely on yourself to make you happy. 

So I am sharing my tulip bouquet with you, and hopefully they will brighten up your day just a little bit. Get out there and do something nice for yourself! You deserve it.

Sunshine

Today was one of those surprise sunny March days and I couldn't be happier to see some signs of spring! Living in Tacoma, Washington, it is a very special time when I cannot find a cloud in the sky.


It's days like this that fill me with hope and excitement for what is to come next: warm weather adventures, late sunsets, chilled rosé, sunglasses, and driving with the windows down and the music up. For me, summer 2014 will take place in Denver, Colorado, and will be a time of big changes. 

With my big move quickly approaching and my anxiety easily sparked, I relish these moments when I feel only excitement about the months ahead. Change can be daunting, but it is always a refreshing reminder that with change can come so much good.
