Hello World-Lady Antebellum

Traffic cars, cell phone calls, top video screams at me
Through my tender window I see a little girl, rust red minivan

She's got chocolate on her face, got little hands

And she waves at me, yeah, she smiles at me

Well, hello world, how've you been?

Good to see you, my old friend

Sometimes I feel cold as steel

Broken like I'm never gonna heal

I see a light, little hole in the little girl

Well, hello world

Every day I drive by a little white church

It's got these little white crosses like angels in the yard

Maybe I should stop on in and say a prayer

Maybe talk to God like he is there

Oh, I know He's there, yeah, I know He's there

Well, hello world, how've you been?

Good to see you, my old friend

Sometimes I feel as cold as steel

And broken like I'm never gonna heal

I see a light, little grace, little faith unfurl

Well, hello world

Sometimes I forget what living's for

And I hear my life through my front door

And I'll be there, oh, I'm home again

I see my wife, little boy, little girl

Hello world, hello world

Oh, the empty disappears

I remember why I'm here

To surrender and believe

I fall down on my knees

Oh hello world, hello world, hello world


Dedicated to Ashley Smith and little baby.

Diet Coke-Stay Extraordinary

I am sitting at home with my friend watching the 83rd Academy Awards, 

and as beautiful as the dresses are, it is a Diet Coke Commercial 

that has stolen my attention:)

Manuela's Bindery

My beautiful sister-in-law Manuela recently opened up a shop on Etsy. 

She has a collection of beautifully hand-crafted journals, photo albums, 

sketch books, recipe books and, one of my personal favorites, 

a felt baby book!

I remember her telling me the process it takes to hand-make a book and it

made me appreciate holding a book and looking at its binding and cover more.

You can find her shop at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Manuelasbindery

Enjoy!

Music from The Village

On Sunday evening I re-watched M. Night Shyamalan's movie The Village.

 I loved this movie the first time I saw it. There are many different things that 

draw me back and this time it was the music. 

It is hauntingly beautiful. 

The soundtrack features Hillary Hahn as the  violin soloist, 

who makes certain scenes truly come alive.

The Ones We Love

It's been a long time since I wrote last and I've missed sharing with you.  

I know Valentines Day has come and gone, but 

as I am still nibbling on milk chocolate hearts a 

week later I cannot help but think of the ones I love.

Who do you love? Is it a husband, wife, sister, 

brother, best friend, boyfriend, fiancé?

 Take the time today, to say "I love you"
