beautiful

"For beautiful eyes,

look for the good in others;

for beautiful lips,

speak only words of kindness;

and for poise,

walk with the knowledge that 

you are never alone."

-Audrey Hepburn 

Life is Art

"I think everything in life is art.

What you do.

How you dress.

The way you love someone,

and how you talk.

Your smile and your personality.

What you believe in,

and all your dreams.

The way you drink your tea.

How you decorate your home or party.

Your grocery list.

The food you make.

How your writing looks.

And the way you feel.

Life is art."

-author unknown

[Also, broiled grapefruit is nice for brunch.]

about coffee...

“Coffee is far more than a beverage. It is an invitation to life, disguised as a cup of warm liquid. It’s a trumpet wake-up call or a gentle rousing hand on your shoulder…Coffee is an experience, an offer, a rite of passage, a good excuse to get together.”

-Nicole Johnson, Fresh Brewed Life

Brent + Emily

This is the day Brent lost a bet. 

A bet made with his co-workers that he would still be single at age 25. 

This is the day he told about his loss and grinned without apology.

"I met Emily and I fell hard."

This is also the day he won a bride

Because he had already won Emily's love.
