Three in one day! aka The Hoe Down.

Yes. I am going to post three updates in one day. I'm feeling share-y today.

A couple of weeks ago Austin and I went to a
Hoe down put on by Denver Seminary.
It was so fun!
Some of my personal highlights were:
the corn fritters (they were like donuts...for dinner),
the food in general was AWESOME,
they had a caller for line/square dancing,
and
it was just great spending time with my main man.

I was trying to tell one of my customers at Solid Grounds
what a great weekend I had because I went to a
"hoe dance" he was confused and I was embarrassed.

I LOVE THIS ETSY SHOP!




I LOVE Katie Daisy!

Tell a Better Story


I have been reading "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years"
by Donald Miller the past week.
I LOVE this book!
It's primarily about living a better story.

He's writing style is so inviting.
I mostly feel like I'm listening to a friend just share their life with me.
That might be weird.
One of my favorite points he shares is
how fear can keep us from
telling a better story.

Last night I read how the
grandness, the vastness, the uncontainable
beauty of nature is, in some ways,
encouraging us to tell a better story.
A story that matches it's beauty.

That's what I love about this season!
It's so alive; full of so many possibilities.

How are you telling a better story this spring???
Are you too afraid to go for it?

Song Saturday - Awake My Soul

SONG SATURDAY! Hopefully this will be a new thing I successfully do. I love music, so song Saturday is designed to allow me to share songs that I have been diggin'. I LOVE this song. "where you invest your love, you invest your life" and "you were made to meet your maker", love those lyrics!

Awake My Soul
by Mumford and Sons

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all

But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die

Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul

Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker
