Hear my plea of innocence, O Lord; give heed to my cry;

Inspiration

I was talking with a colleague today about big changes and new goals. Like walking to my local thrift store. Leaving the car behind. Shopping the Farmer's Market for great produce..... and cute farmers. She told me that hearing my ideas for my new life was "inspirational". I am completely blown away and encouraged on my new path.

can't decide what I love most: the dress or the boots?

love the open spaces

Coming Home

I know, I know. Taylor is a pretty, little girl who sings pretty, little songs. But every time, I hear Taylor (and Ed) sing this song, my head fills with visions of my wedding day and a beautiful, bearded husband. That's a vision that I'm not going to fight. 

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
And you'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Psalm 84

How lovely is Thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts to me!
My soul is longing and fainting the courts of the Lord to see;
My heart and flesh they are singing for joy to the living God.
How lovely is Thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts to me!

When It Breaks

Sometimes, life gets to be a little too much. You have to pause, cry, scream or all three if you're me. And then you have to move forward. Right now, I find myself struggling with the forward movement. I looked at a goal that I had written one year ago and realized.... NOTHING. I hadn't done one external thing to move tangibly closer to success. I'd done some thinking and some writing but there was no action behind it. It hit me like a ton of bricks. So, I'm moving on. Back to the drawing board but this time I won't stop at just drawing.


p.s. Happy Belated Halloween.

p.p.s. Frustration at personal goals is no reason to miss a chance at dressing up.

More Than You Think

"Voluptuous and simple-the world is larger than one had thought" - Denise Levertov

Breathing deeply. Dreaming sweetly. Only 2 more months left in 2013. What creations will be conjured? What moments will be savored? I'm ready. I am ready. xoxo, MJ

Keith

He remains bracingly frank about his romantic appeal ("the most beautiful women in the world are attracted to ugliness-as long as you've got a good tongue. Heh heh") and keen to endorse his favorite firearm ("a .38 Smith & Wesson Airweight revolver-that's the fucking gun. No safety on it.") - Keith Richards from a Vanity Fair Article

Beauty Queen Style

Lana Del Rey has infected my brain. In Texas, the summer really does last until almost November and it will return in March. But Lana makes me long for summer again. Insanity.

"I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big beauty queen style

High heels off, I'm feeling alive"

New in the shop.
