A Lemon tartlette

I am in LOVE with this Lemon tart. My husband thinks Im insane that I get so excited over a pastry. He did not want to know how much it cost ( he dropped me off in front of the La Madeline as I ran in) I came out beaming like id just won the lottery. We had to run into Walmart before we got home and I refused to leave it in the car, for fear the heat would somehow harm the integrity of the flavor. I guarded it with my life. So I carried my special La Madeline pastry box so carefully setting it in the cart. When we got home I had to take it outside and photograph it before I allowed my self to gently cut into it.

Simply Divinity.

Inspirations to live by

CREATE the life you want. Don't wait. Do it now.

CELEBRATE each day as if it were your last. Don't waste it.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. Allow the beauty in your heart to shine through to touch your world.

Resilience

Though we are not born with a resilient heart, I think we learn fast that this journey requires it. Though life can find us at the top of the mountain's with joy and a triumphant heart, it is the valleys that strength is born. It is a learned skill. Don't fight it, the bad that life brings. Fight what it can do to your spirit. Protect your heart like a warrior, but be soft enough to not allow it to grow bitter.The world can be a rough place, face it head on. With strength and valor. But don't sweat the small stuff. Look for the lessons and find the beauty in the journey. Life can be a wonderful place too. keep your eyes and heart open. You are strong. You can do it.

The Beautiful

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture everyday of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.  - Johann Wolfgang VonGoethe

Remember to enjoy the things in life which are free and can set your soul apart from that which keeps you wanting.

A Day of Rest

Sunday's have always been a day of rest. a day to reflect on the week past and plan for the week ahead. Find time today to spend time alone and nurture your soul. find the peace deep inside that God intends for us to keep through out the week. Find rest.

Saturdays

For the love of Saturdays. To late morning rise, extended time in your pj's and the sun in my eyes. Oh How I love this day of relaxation, no agenda and a reward of fun for the past work week. 

Spend your day with bliss and throw your cares to the wind. Have a blessed Saturday :)

Bitter Sweet

As the last days of school come to an end there is a mix of emotions. Though I am sooo excited that I have the summer ahead of me, I also know that this chapter is coming to a close. The children run and play as I watch their sweet faces and know they will move onto new endeavours next year. Just a part of life I guess. Bitter sweet. This was graduation day/ They wore such sweet colorful dresses, I just had to take a pic!
