inspired to be ourselves
This little guy is being himself. He might be brown among all the green, but he’s a beautiful brown simply because he is. He doesn’t even have to do anything but Be.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.– Dr Seuss
Every Day is a daily photo site by collaborators Shannon Blue and Cassia Beck. I think their images have this really great dreamy quality to them. The images below are one of my favorite sets. Definitely go check out their archives.
This one almost feels like I’m cheating. I’m looking for the meaning in the photos I post and this one actually has the word IN IT.
Yes. Open. Nailed it. I’m trying to be more open. Just when I think I’ve got my whole life figured out, I realize I don’t and oops! there went all my plans. The plans I’ve been obsessing over for the past two weeks.
Just when I think I know absolutely nothing and I’m totally adrift, I find out I actually do know something and I’m fine.
So, FINE universe. FINE. I’ll just keep trying to be OPEN to whatever you want to SEND me. OK? (and also? xoxo and thanks, U.)
Today I’m going to work hard. And relax the heck out of my relaxing time. In fact, I’m going try and do everything today with an eye to a singular purpose.
One thing at a time.
Just one.
Then later, one more.
It might be easier some days if I had my own marquee telling people what kind of mood I was in, what time I would be open for putting on a show. Wednesday, 7pm. This week only at the Rio.
Jen Lemen is absolutely one of the most authentic people I know. She opens her heart to everyone but also knows how to set limits so she doesn’t get so weighed down she can’t function. She takes breaks when she needs to. She creates ways to bless other people’s lives. I admire her so much.
I hope your weekend is going great and is filled with lots of family, friends and fun. Or alone time. Whatever you want and need.
I, myself, am having a dirty martini, watching some dvr’d television and sketching in my walkabout journal.
xoxo
