Simple DIY Gold Leaf Planters

I think sometimes we make crafting too complicated. We bloggers come up with cutesy projects and your Pinterest homepage quickly clogs with everything handmade tied/ruffled and feathered under the sun.  There’s nothing wrong with cutesy inspiration...

I hope you always dare to try new things. I hope I hope you always dare to try new things. I hope you take yourself not so seriously. I hope you know you get to be a beginner. Over and over and over again. I hope you look for love everywhere you go, no matter how easy it will be to see indifference. I hope you never forget that the person you see with all the right things or all the right answers, does not have them all, and that you have all the answers you need within.⁣ ⁣ I hope you get your hands dirty. I hope you remember some of the best moments of life are in the exploring. I hope you find acceptance to be your long lost friend, and with her, she brings peace to sit at your table. I hope you find joy in the moments, and realize that seeking joy is about seeking joy in moments. Life gets way more complicated than anyone will prepare you for; joy is recognized and upheld in the moments. I hope you always speak for yourself with kindness and clarity, never apologizing for it, but considering those around you, too.⁣ ⁣ I hope you stand at the edge of the water and are moved by its vastness. I hope you see people. For all of who they are and not just the parts that do or do not serve you. Lean in to them. I hope you write, paint, play, dream, dare, build...I hope you pursue the longings tucked inside of you.⁣ ⁣ I hope you never choose to feel small, and you trust yourself with great depth that only living and losing and loving can bring. I hope for you many, many things. Mostly, dear one, I hope you fall in love with the little pieces of your soul that make you unique, that make your voice precious, that make you the one some other one will need in a moment of connection. I hope you find the place where the divine connection of this world moves you to tears. And that you let it move you to love the whole world.⁣ ⁣ -To my children, to myself, and to you. 💫⁣ ⁣ #ihope #lettertomychildren #wordstoliveby #writer

It is not for nothing.⁣ ⁣ The ups and downs an It is not for nothing.⁣ ⁣ The ups and downs and the places where you feel like nothing is moving. The places where nothing feels right. The places that seem to stretch beyond the beyond...these places are all for something.⁣ ⁣ You move through them, piece by piece, and moment by moment, all the while forming. All the while becoming.⁣ ⁣ It is not for nothing.⁣ ⁣ I promise. 🧡⁣ ⁣ #quote #notfornothing #wordstoliveby

It's been a long week and sometimes, a simple picture is enough...and just dang pretty.⁣ ⁣ Mixed up some terra verte pigment last week...maybe the most relaxing activity I'm into these days.

Women. And a few of you men that read here. I wa Women. And a few of you men that read here. I want you to hear this tonight. I want to hear it.⁣ ⁣ I spent time today talking with clients. Cried with one, and I felt every moment. Clients who were feeling scared, or feeling unsure. I tried to remind them, and myself, some truths. Truths that feel impossible to remember when we are FEELING life so deeply.⁣ ⁣ Feeling like they've spent a LOT of time WASTING time. And it always feels that way in the muck. In life. In business. We spend a lot of time feeling like it's a waste. That because we're lost, we're going nowhere. Feeling that because we're stuck there is no inching forward.⁣ ⁣ But the secret, I think? I hope?⁣ ⁣ Is that we are seldom on the mountaintops and in the valleys. The moments there are fleeting. We are ALMOST ALWAYS in the INCHING of BECOMING. It is brutal. And it is beautiful.⁣ ⁣ And that's it. We spend a most of our time on the climb. And the fall. The moments of elation and the moments of the deepest sorrow or struggle pass relatively quickly on the grand timeline, and most of the damn time, we are in the TRYING. Trying to make it work while we climb. Trying to hang on while we fall.⁣ ⁣ And maybe, just maybe, that's why it becomes not just important, but essential for us to embrace the soaring that comes from within. The soaring within doesn't listen to the noise of the climb or the whirring of the fall. It wraps you up in love. It tells you you will make it to the next thing. It reminds you it's possible to go somewhere new, and that no matter what it looks like, you will move. That life will continue moving around you, and you will move with it, and one day, you will look up and be "there," wherever there is.⁣ ⁣ And the climb becomes a little less strenuous. The fall becomes a little less scary. The mountaintop becomes something you treasure in the present moment. The valley becomes the place you no longer deeply fear, but feel INTO. It all becomes part of this crazy life. And in the moments you can, you soar.⁣ ⁣ You soar. You soar. You soar.⁣ ⁣ #writer #writersofinstagram #quotes #quotesofinstagram #soar
