Who wants to run around in the snow today? Sunshine sunshine, can’t take it for granted during the winter up here. ⠀

You say your brain is like a lost land mine⠀
One false move and you could send the children flying⠀
Well I can't think of any reason why⠀
I couldn't add a little dancing to your dying⠀
⠀
You Won’t / Ya Ya Ya⠀

A tough one to caption, as I don’t show my face around here often. When I do, it’s from this place. La Graciosa. I’ve been able to find highest quality of light and the highest quality of humans here, and I’ve yet to discover another place on earth that can replicate such a recipe for creativity. This is a place where I am most myself. This is a place where I feel simultaneously challenged and at ease, at home. There are not enough words but if you’ve felt this (anywhere) you know. You keep coming back, too. So here on this Valentine’s Day I’m up to my armpits in photos of loving lovely couples but I think I’ll leave this one of my face here instead. Self love and all that. La Graciosa love and all that. Eat something heart-shaped today.⠀

I love talking about the weather, especially when it’s the kind of weather that affects daily life. Snow is that kind of weather, and its been piling up for days here in Michigan— large piles (small mountains) of the stuff in parking lots, piles of patience lost, piles of puddles and melty messes on doormats across the state. We’re piling up the snowdays — any day affected by snow is a day when routines change. Snowdays are sometimes holing up and sometimes coming together, but either way shaking the normal. Snow is both quiet calm and roadside calamity. Opportunity and inconvenience. Snowdays foster the same sparks of newness I seek when traveling. So, shake the normal. Shake the snow globe. Make your own snowday tomorrow.⠀⠀

PSA I’m looking for someone to take over my lease in Grand Rapids. Downtown, one bedroom apartment with fancy brick walls and wood floors and a nice big balcony. It’s pretty dang cool (ask my friends.) Tell your friends. See my story for pics and Craigslist for more info. ⠀

Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute – even when the waters get deep, and dark.⠀

I began this season with a very different idea of how I would be spending my snowy slow days. I began this week with a very different idea of how much work I’d be able to check off the ever-growing lists. It’s been awhile, insta. Here’s a snowy season shot from a few weeks back.⠀

this is the season⠀
she will make⠀
beautiful things.⠀
not perfect things⠀
but honest things⠀
that speak to who ⠀
she is and who she is⠀
called to be.⠀
