Coffee and books. Fancy pens and paper. Baby giggles, snuggles, and dance parties. Road trips, Antique shops, and everything turquoise. Oceans and sea glass. And long heart-to-heart’s. Life is beautiful when you can stop and really see it.

Psalms 45:1 “My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.”

“One ought only to write when one leaves a piece of one’s own flesh in the inkpot, each time one dips one’s pen.”  Leo Tolstoy
