if all you focus on is money you will have a hard time getting any. focusing on the money only is like focusing on the apple, but forgetting the seed. the seed of TRUE abundance is not money, but doing what you love. love is the strongest energy in the Universe & if you step away from the life that you know & begin to step towards a life of doing what you love, you will be planting very powerful seeds. after enough time & care the seeds you plant will begin to blossom & bare amazing fruit. money & many other forms of abundance will literally chase you. focus on what makes you happy, take risks in that direction & don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t possible. look to those who inspire you & ask yourself what would they do? these folks know about true abundance, take note.

this is exactly how i felt the last time B was visiting. i had been walking around the supermarket across from my apartment, like i do so many times throughout the week, & he had been walking around town while i was at work earlier. after i bought a couple things, i looked up & he was there. walking toward me. & it felt like a dream in a lot of ways. i wish i could see him from across the room over & over again everyday.

She cultivates a taste for small pleasures: dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking crème brûlée with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at St. Martin’s Canal.

such a brilliant film. definitely watching it tonight :)

side note: this is dayna & me dancing in the arctic circle, feeling like we were at the very edge of the world, at grimsey island. i think i can confidently say that this was one of the best days of my life. infinite giggles & happy dances.

the best news just graced my ears! one of my dearest friends from college is visiting this week. i am over. the. moon. aside from countless laughs & good times in college, we also day-tripped around iceland together for two months. i haven’t seen her in about a year & a half & i know that she is exactly who i need to be around. 

i had a really lovely weekend. equal parts fun & mellow. on friday night amber & i hit up a couple happy hours until V joined us. then the three of us went to my favorite pub & watched some good time music. in the morning we went to portage bay cafe for a tasty breakfast & then popped into the consignment shop & the re store. later, dad helped with my taxes & cooked me dinner. & now i’m using sunday as my solo day to gather thoughts & peace for the upcoming work-week. taking lots of deep breaths…

have you seen midnight in paris? i just finished watching. it’s super dreamy. filled with tones of nostalgia, fantasy, romanticism, imagination & optimism. for as much as i advocate truly living in the present moment, i am admittedly very guilty of dreaming up a life in a far-away land or in a different era all together. i think finding balance in it all is key. but i’m a dreamer, what can i say?
