O come, O come, Emmanuel,

and ransom captive Israel,

that mourns in lonely exile here

until the Son of God appear.

Road Trip!

On A Collaborative Effort...

Early in the morning

I have to stop fighting it. I'm a morning person.

I love getting up with the sun and just sitting with an open heart before God while everyone is still asleep.

The house is quiet. The office is quiet. The sky is just beginning to glimmer with light and shadow. And I have hope in a new beginning...each new day is a gift, and chance to learn and grow and love. The stillness is life giving.

While I'm basking in what morning is left, I have this song on repeat.

Listen. It's amazing.

A new adventure and no shampoo

My friend, Kayla, and I have just embarked on a new adventure, and I wanted to share it with you. We call it A Collaborative Effort. You can find me writing over there about home organization, thrifting, healthy food, and more!

Speaking of A Collaborative Effort, you can find me there today talking a little about my experience going No-Poo! :)

Day One: A little late, but still thankful.

I'm thankful for quiet Saturday mornings with a cup of tea. Today is one of those days. I'm curled up inside while the wind blows outside and makes the lights flicker. No where to be, nothing to do. My heart is quiet and full.

TGIT & a random fact!

Is anyone else in love with the new single from Kings of Leon? I can't stop listening. Well, to be honest, I don't really want to stop listening. Funny thing about me, if I find a song I love I'm totally content to listen to that song on repeat for days, weeks, months on end. Rachel Pipo can attest to that...a prime example would be Jason Mraz "Remedy" on repeat in my 1991 Ford Tempo for a solid year.

Or

Hanson's Underneath album on repeat for a year.

Or

Taylor Swift's Red for a year.

That happened.

What song could you listen to on repeat for ages on end?
