stop and focus

The next time you're out in the world, stop and focus.
Once you let go, you open up space for new things, true things.
Let go of all your assumptions. Quiet your mind. Now, ask yourself, who are you truly? Who are you meant to be?

2030

I've had this little dress forever. I want to say I got it a Urban, but I honestly can't remember. As of lately I have been on a healthy hair kick. I used to hate wearing my hair completely off my face, but I've gotten used to it.
Healthy ends and no heat allowed for the rest of the summer. Wish me luck.

Crave you

If you haven't seen it already, take a look at the video I made.
It holds random footage taken during our trip along with memories and moments I will never forget. Everyday I think of Paris.
Everyday my heart longs for those moments I shared with so many special people.

Little Kate Whitney is finally 21 years old. I can hardly believe it. Many kisses little sister.

Lauren made me go to Myrtle Beach. When we decided to ride the Ferris Wheel, she forgot to mention the fact that she was deathly afraid of heights.
What a silly girl. <3 Happy 4th.

Forrest Gump: [to Jenny] Theyre sendin me to Vietnam...
[Jenny is despondent]
Forrest Gump: ...Its this whole nuther country.

While I returned from Paris, my dear friend Matt Swartz was also making his way back to the states all the way from Vietnam. He visited this beautiful place for three weeks exploring all kinds of different textile factories. Although I have never been, I have a huge interest in this country and was so excited when Matt shared his photos with me.

Aviee Marie & Eleanor were too cute on the beach today. The sun does indeed feel good and it's nice to spend time with my family. Earlier this morning Kate took me to a little vintage shop right near the beach. It was one of those little shops that holds amazing wonders and the owner has no clue. Jackpot! I seriously wanted everything inside, but settled for a new purse and wallet.
Yee Haw ya'll. Welcome to South Carolina...
