" By choosing your thoughts, and by selecting which emotional currents
you will release and which you will reinforce,
you determine the quality of your light.
You determine the effects that you will have on others and
the nature of the experiences of your life." -Gary Zukav,

“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”

I have been going back and forth for several years to study aromatherapy and skin care. Certification is important but for a stay at home Momma with a tight budget it can be very expensive. This summer I have been reading lots of skin care and aromatherapy books, and getting in conatct with schools for help and knowledge. I think I may have found the right school for me. In late August I will be studying with Vintage Remedies outside of Nashville,Tennessee.

This week I am finding my inner child. I took a peaceful walk in the rain, I rode the waves, and explored tidal pools! Have you searched deep inside and found yours?

My son Jack turned three last weekend.
Such beautiful weather and perfect for a party of celebration outdoors. My friend Victoria Velting from Recycled + Revamped made him a green birthday crown, a guitar strap for his guitar, along with two birthday garlands.
Thank You for your kindness and beautiful work Victoria!
Jack received many other thoughtful gifts such as a small swing set, a outdoor play water sprinkler, a funny book called the Wonky Donkey, a play shaving kit and a Vtech Kidizoom camera.
He loved taking pictures with my IPhone but this camera is just his, and he definitely has a visual and creative eye.
Pretty impressive photos from a little kid's toy camera. Can't wait to see what other photos he takes. Will share more, promise!
