lightning strikes

still trying to get my thoughts in order. 

but until then, here are a few sources of inspiration:

this song.

these pants.

and this Mary Oliver quote:

[which has led me to discover a few incredible blogs]

friday five

this week flew by... taking a moment to stop and appreciate a few things that made me smile:

1. the lazy, folksy, perfect-to-drive-around-to sound of Jeff Bridges' album
2. finding an adorable pair of sparkly [yet super comfy] flats for my sister's wedding
3. news that my Dad finally qualified to run the Boston Marathon!
4. taking my geek to the next level and seeing this guy perform his 60 minute interpretation of the star wars trilogy. seriously. it was hilarious.
5. three. day. weekend.

a random thought

if I could only listen to 10 bands/artists for the rest of my life,
[in no particular order] they would be:

• The Beatles
• David Bowie
• Jimmy Eat World
• The Rolling Stones 
• Fleetwood Mac
• Lady Gaga
• Queen
• Iron Maiden
• Johnny Cash
• Journey

all you need is love

I love this song. 

 and it always seems to help me through a hard time.

maybe I'm a little cliche.

maybe I'm a hippy at heart.

but I believe in the power of love.
