building a quest.


Sometimes I feel like as soon as my ideas have hit the air they are doomed for failure, however they also seem to burst inside me until I let them out...so here I am letting them run 
wild and free.

Summer plans:

Buy a bike. With a basket. In a creamy, pastel color.

Begin my endeavor to learn Spanish.

Experiment with cooking cuisine from different cultures.

Get a good, solid tan that makes me miss New Zealand less.

Buy a ticket to another country, and leave for a week...or two.  

Take more photos. 

Get my Etsy shop up and running.

Spend more time with my eyes open wide for people's needs. And do something about them.

Grow my nails out. (I feel like this goal must conclude each goal list I make or something would be admiss...appreciate the well-placed intention?)

namesake.


Sometimes it feels like I'm not enough.

Sometimes it feels like I'm too much.

Sometimes the lies scream louder than the truth. 

But baby, I'm so much stronger than you think.

There's a lot of hope in this heart.

I want His light, His love. to be my bright anticipation.

I want the atmosphere to change with knowledge of His presence.

I want to change the atmosphere with His presence.

fragrance. 

namesake.

the reason for my creation.

Every day, it's only clearer.

sometimes I like to pretend that I am a 

hippie-Indian-princess.

with braided hair and a winsome heart.

strong.

carefree.

fiercely loyal.

I always want to be the kind of woman who takes on life with gusto.

Someone who never lets life take over her.

let my soul run free.


I like empty places.

free-spirited places.

where my soul can breathe deeply and rest.

where I feel alive.

where nothing can touch me.

where everything waits...just for adventure.

I like the places people rarely find time to visit.

those places with their own distinct feeling.

peaceful places.

beautiful places.

take me to those places.
