There is quite a bit of art in the world that I truly love. From friends photography to ancient sculptures, I'm kind of a sucker for art. There are two pieces that I've been in love with for a really long time. Water Lilies by Claude MonetandWinged Victory (Nike)I've loved Water Lilies for as long … Continue reading On living through art…

On hopes, rather than resolutions…
It's the time of year when many of us make resolutions to be better people in the new year. I've been known to make resolutions in the past...some have been attainable (eat at as few chain restaurants as possible, see a Broadway show, etc.) and others have been totally ridiculous (walk to Russia, etc.). 2012 … Continue reading On hopes, rather than resolutions…
On a year gone by….
This is usually about the time of year when I start to reminisce over the last twelve months and think about what I've done, where I've gone, things like this. To be sure, there were a lot of great things that happened this year. Todd got a wonderful new job doing something he's very passionate … Continue reading On a year gone by….
On the end of an era (mostly)….
There are a lot of Christmas songs that I love. I made a playlist the other day on Spotify of just a few of my favorites (and I even managed to miss one...The Happy Elf by Harry Connick, Jr.). But one of my favorites has a bit more meaning this year than it has in … Continue reading On the end of an era (mostly)….
On choosing differently….
People often ask the question, "If you could know everything about one thing, what would it be?" I've been asked that a lot. My answers tend to vary, but my standards are either dance or languages. I choose dance a lot because I love doing it and I love the way I feel when I'm … Continue reading On choosing differently….
On taking a giant step backwards….
Christmas is kind of an absurd time of year. It gets incredibly busy; extraordinary amounts of money are spent...on gifts and baking and electricity; churches practically go in to upheaval when it comes to Christmas productions and Advent Sundays and the like. For me, Christmas has always been marked by these things. I love buying … Continue reading On taking a giant step backwards….
On the most wonderful time of the year….
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?: Have to go with wrapping paper. Bags are sometimes necessary, but I love love love wrapping gifts and putting all the pretty bows all over them. It's really hard to beat! 2. Real or Artifical Tree?: I grew up with a real one so it's sentimental, but also a … Continue reading On the most wonderful time of the year….
On WINNING!….
I haven't won very many awards in my life. Most of the ones I have gotten were from high school. Some were awesome and some were just plain weird. There was the National School Choral Award (or something) which was a super huge deal and I cried when I won it. Then there was the … Continue reading On WINNING!….
On the most hilarious annual fight….
My dad's handmade Christmas village. As pretty much everyone in my life is aware, I am absolutely bonkers about Christmas. I love the lights and the smells and the sounds. I even kind of like the cold weather, but only very slightly. Why can't there be snow on the ground and the air still be … Continue reading On the most hilarious annual fight….
On purple mountain’s majesty….
I'm a Colorado girl, through and through. Born and raised in (or around) Denver, I've had some pretty fantastic experiences with this city and those gorgeous mountains out to the West. I can't remember a day of my life that I haven't woken up to see the mountains. It's the beauty of living so close … Continue reading On purple mountain’s majesty….
