Poured over pages

I received my Spoonfuls, and I've ravaged the pages!

I've made it a point to seek out material that inspires me and lifts my Spirit. In turn I've noticed an ease with being myself, and I engage in conversation much easier when I'm listening to others' greatness. 

On that note, yesterday, I met a man  in the park who flew out of Japan 30 minutes prior to the earthquake. I will have a post about that story soon. 



In the meantime, check out my original post about Spoonful and have yourself a taste!


Xox,

Happiness sent from Australia to me

Happiest of Friday's my dear friends!

I recently purchased a subscription to an incredible publication titled "Spoonful"
and I wrote a quick email saying "hello". The editor wrote me back with a
beautiful response and I wanted to share the correspondence with you for
multiple reasons.

   1. She's adorable and writes beautifully! (I love writers who have a grace 
   and flow with their words)
   2. Check out the publication and buy it for yourself 
   and your girl friends! www.spoonfulzine.com
   3. I love being surprised with responses when I step out to just say hello! 
   and acknowledge others for who they are in my life (small or big.) It's fun 
   connecting with other people I've never met. If I hadn't emailed her, we may 
   have never made contact! I love connecting with new people, if only briefly.

Enjoy, my hearts-of-sweetness!

Xox,

Sarah

Spoonful!


Greetings one and all! I'm so glad I found your blog today. Sometime
late last year my close friend sent me a postcard that included pieces
of your "issue 1". Her craftiness combined with the few words I was
able to read from your publication created a magical moment while I
stood next to my mail drop one wintery afternoon in San Diego,
California.


I finally took the time to find your site today. I absolutely love it!


Thank you so much for contributing to the your friends, family,
community, and the world!

Xox,

Transformation

Welcome! If you've been here before you will notice some changes. If you're new here, thanks for stopping by. I've changed the blog layout and colors. My brother Matt is a graphic designer, and after spending time discussing colors and design for a business card I realized I could draw from photo's I've been accumulating over time. Here is a snap shot of what inspired me to change the blog layout.



I'm grateful for your eyes that read these words and caress my imagination portrayed through these pixels.

Xox,

Sarah
