What an incredible Silver Lining this quote from Kelly Ann Rothaus was for me today. I love – just love – when life reminds me (in little ways and in big!) to stop and look at the beautiful bounty that is all around me. In addition to saying “Thank You” and expressing gratitude wherever and whenever I… Continue reading Never Squander an Opportunity – Kelly Ann Rothaus

There are lots and lots of fun projects in the works (that I look so forward to unveiling very soon!). As I am looking… Continue reading The Person You Decide to Become – Emerson

Love of Art and Books – Lang Leav
Shortly after I finished today’s post, I found this quote from Lang Leav about the intersection between art and books. Without a doubt, I feel the same way that he does!
Believe You Can – Theodore Roosevelt
Today has been a challenging day, with more fits and starts than I can count. I’ve found myself looking for Silver Linings ALL.DAY.LONG. That said, I was indeed able to find the them, even if one was: “For goodness sakes, you are NOT sitting in a chemo chair!” When I came across this Theodore Roosevelt quote, I thought, okay… Continue reading Believe You Can – Theodore Roosevelt

Friday Photos: Happy 4th of July
For the last 9 years, we have had the best (well, I think it’s the best!) 4th of July tradition: first we go to the Fireman’s Fundraising Breakfast and then on to The (13 minute!) Village Fourth Parade. There are actually two parades in town. We choose to go to The Village Parade because, quite… Continue reading Friday Photos: Happy 4th of July
Great Leaders – Colin Powell
As we move into the 4th of July, I am inspired by this quote from General Colin Powell. I wholeheartedly agree that great leaders are great simplifiers. More often than not, cutting through the confusion and breaking things down into the simple, accessible, and relatable is what is often needed to find the Silver Linings.
Blackboard Adventure Series from Cute Moments Photography
Recently, I came across Cute Moments Photography, an award-winning baby photography studio based in San Jose, California. Photographer Anna Eftimie is incredibly talented and creates the most outrageously adorable and precious moments with children. Talk about Silver Linings. I mean, really. Amazing! I was particularly tickled by her Blackboard Adventure series. In this series, Anna imagines what newborn children… Continue reading Blackboard Adventure Series from Cute Moments Photography
The Art of Life – Gloria Steinem
This quote by Gloria Steinem is a great inspiration. Lately I have been thinking a whole lot about how important it is to use what happens to us in this life and – of course to find the Silver Linings – rather than to try to control life. Heaven knows that controlling life is an impossible endeavor. The… Continue reading The Art of Life – Gloria Steinem
