you know how some weeks are just regular weeks? well, that’s how this past week was. just regular life – not that that’s bad. but, it’s those weeks that seem regular, boring, mundane, and/or ordinary that are the ones that teach me to find the extraordinary within the ordinary. and believe me, if you look, you will find it.
so, even though there were not ground-breaking moments, i quietly moved through the week just doing what i do. and looking back, i can see just how amazing some of those moments actually were. however, if i am really aware, then i am present in the moments as they happen. that, of course, is my goal.
the past week was full of little things that, as i looked through my photos, reminded me that i am so blessed -just to live the life that i do. that there is inspiration all around me.
in fact, i dare say that inspiration was actually the theme during the week:
an evening beer and cozy lights.
we rearranged our bedroom. a new perspective, and a funky loft feel. love it!
finished an amazing book: The Invention of Wings
Had my first book club meeting! so. much. fun.
my new favorite breakfast place: Biscuit Head & a great Fika meet up with incredible conversations
a lot of work/writing at home. ok. not as much as it should have been.
sunrises, sunsets, and silent moments
on saturday, I attended an amazing LGBT conference – inspiration. networking. support. information. activism.
sunday morning laziness with my little family
and finally, the oscars on tv! it was a great show with (again, I use the word) inspiring actors, speeches, & moments
Lovely pics! Who’s not well, Lina or zola? Get well soon! Simple Weeks I think are often the best!
Lina is sick and my brother is going through a rough time right now. Zola’s just dandy! Plus, I just found out that my dear friend is having a tough day. I think the winter blues are running rampant over here. Maybe I can do some supporting & cheering up. Hope you and your girl are well!! xo
Good snacks, lots of tea and snuggles for the wife! Lots of cheering from you and I’m sure they’ll be better soon! Xx
Hope everyone starts feeling better soon. Much love to you all. xoxo
Thank you! All’s well now. xoxo
Regular weeks are my favorite kind. I hope the inspirations fuels your productivity next week! Great post 🙂
I’m so glad that you embrace and love regular weeks. I love that!!
Such a sweet lovely day to take a peek at your wonderful world Liz. Best of luck with ongoing advocacy work, and I must say – best Oscar night ever! Wow Ellen was awesome, and the speeches! OMGosh. Every year I watch it with my nearly 22 yr old son, and now we’re both huge (bigger!) fans of Jared Leto. Who would’ve thought the Oscars could be so funny, touching (a few tears!) AND inspiring?! Love it! Hugs to you, Gina xo
Thank you, so much Gina. So glad that I can share it! Oh yes… the Oscars was very emotional and wonderful! Peace and love… xo
Hey Liz. It sounds like the Asheville winter has closed in. We spent a winter there, and it didn’t snow so much, but it was freezing. The good news about crappy weather is that it can be motivational – to stay inside and be productive. Best of luck with that. ~ James
Winter last week, James. But spring, this week! So typical Asheville. Haha! And yes, the bad weather definitely makes for cozy, hopefully productive, times. xx
