friday quotation

Starting an online photography class this week and already loving the messages that are being sent my way via "manifestos" like this. Some of my favorites:
- Wake up to what's already there.
- Trade your fear for curiosity.
- See beauty everywhere.
- Make mistakes.
- Tell your story.
- Be playful.
- Elevate the ordinary.
- Be brave.

friday quotation on a Sunday

I just didn't have time on Friday. Nothing "came" to me on Saturday. But today, I read this and thought, "yes...we are more than logical...we are hopeful...sometimes even when hope is illogical."

“If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.”
―Jacques Cousteau

friday quotation

Fairy tales are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons don't exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. ~G.K. Chesterton

And happy birthday, Cam!

friday quotation on a Saturday

There are no 'chance encounters.' All encounters offer us the opportunity to transform fear to love and create a miracle. Accept that relationships are assignments to learn and grow." ~Gabrielle Bernstein

(Posting on a Saturday because that's just the sort of day that Friday was! I was WIPED OUT from the week. Note: this picture is one that I took this summer in NYC. I loved that I was able to capture this moment...a "chance" encounter...or maybe not.)

too good not to share

If you're not a regular follower of Story Corps, you are missing out.
Missing out on great stories like this. (Warning: you will need tissue.)
Stories that inspire.
Stories that make your heart melt.
Stories that remind you of what's important in life.
A life that, in the words of Grant Coursey "is really good."
Enjoy.

friday quotation

When you have to make a hard decision, flip a coin.
Why?
Because when the coin is in the air...you suddenly know what you're hoping for.
