Friday Film
I'm hoping to catch this documentary soon. After this disturbing and infuriating news, it's more important than ever to be informed!
Want the Change
Want the change. Be inspired by the flame
where everything shines as it disappears.
The artist, when sketching, loves nothing so much
as the curve of the body as it turns away.
What locks itself in sameness has congealed.
Is it safer to be gray and numb?
What turns hard becomes rigid
and is easily shattered.
Pour yourself out like a fountain.
Flow into the knowledge that what you are seeking
finishes often at the start, and, with ending, begins.
Every happiness is the child of a separation
it did not think it could survive. And Daphne, becoming a laurel,
dares you to become the wind.
- Ranier Maria Rilke

Grace
Vacation is as good a time as any to start a new book. And that I did! I've actually almost finished it. Grace has been on my to-read list since it's release last November.
Desert Time
Our trip to Arizona was short but sweet! We got more than enough sun, food, and pampering. I feel renewed and ready for April.

National Geographic
National Geographic's Tumblr, Found, honors the magazine's 125th anniversary. A lot of these photos were never published or publicly seen until now. I'm grateful for their showcase, as they leave me feeling inspired and awestruck.

I saw this documentary the other night. It's set in Oregon which struck mighty close to home. I found it difficult to watch at times, but it was important to put faces/stories with these issues.

Daily Routines of Famous Writers
As I've mentioned before, I'm a fan of routine. Naturally, this piece sucked me right in! I found their preferences and idiosyncrasies to be so fascinating...from candles to prayer and drinks to a good, old fashioned legal pad. Hey, whatever works!

Fairy Meadows
Brett returned from his 12 day Canadian ski trip safe and sound. These pictures were some of my favorites! I'm hoping to make it to British Columbia one of these days.

5 Things That Made My Week
These sunglasses, because I actually needed them more often than not. Sun in Portland is serious stuff, people!
This green juice, because I made one every day after work. For those who want to recreate, it's apple, lemon, broccoli stems, cucumber, kale, and celery.
These flowers outside my door, because I've watched them grow from sticks to buds to blooms.
These books, because they've been on my list for a long time and I was able to borrow them from a friend.
The contents on this shelf, because they have gotten me through these quiet evenings.

Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier captured beauty in urban America. Her photos just so happened to be discovered in 2007 at a thrift auction house in Chicago. I look forward to learning more about her story in the recently released documentary, Finding Vivian Maier.

Thanks for the inspiration, Wendes! I'm still brainstorming what I'd like to do for the next 30 days. I love the idea of small, sustainable changes.
March On
Here are a few short term goals:
+ more green juices
+ 1 gym class/week
+ 2-3 yoga classes/week
+ finish wedding thank you notes
Your turn!
