been pretty absent online lately, which I'm personally loving. writing it all down when I can, and when I can't remembering I'm loving this world and soaking it in and packing my days with loved ones and great moments - and it's ok to be tired and busy, there will be time to rest at some point.

just finished Shauna Niequist's 3rd book "bread & wine" and I know that seems to be all I've blogged about the past few months, but really her books have given me such a new inspiration and I guess I just feel I connect with her words on so many levels. she ended this story with these words and I was again left in awe:

"I want you to gobble life up in huge bites, tasting everything, trying every new flavor, remembering every smell and texture like its the best thing you've ever had. I want you to live with wild and gorgeous abandon, throwing yourself into each day, telling the truth about who you are and who you are not, writing a love song to the world itself and to the God who made every inch of it."

I want to write my love song...
