If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

If you plant hard work, you will reap success

If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.

Is It Spring Yet?

Pictures like these are just about the only things that make me ok with 

the freezing temperatures, long winter and inches feet of snow.

During the Summer months I love sleeping in freezing air conditioning,

however right about now I'd give anything for a hot Summers night.

What do you love most about Winter?

Hazy Day

Today I'm in a bit of a funk that I cant seem to shake.

I turned to my favorite weheartit for some inspiration.

What do you do to shake a mood?

Quotes

You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Missing you Katelynn.

Travel Dreams: Ireland

One of my main items on my "bucket list" is to travel. Specifically to Ireland.

I've wanted to go for as long as I can remember.

In highschool, my best friend and I had big dreams of

"backpacking" through Europe before going off to college.

[if you have ever met me or molly, you know that by "backpacking"

we really envisioned leisurely making our way where ever our hearts desire

with adorable luggage and staying in cute hotels. At no point did we intend

to hard core "backpack" it through various countries.]

Well summer after senior year came and went and neither of us made it over seas.

In fact, we didn't even make it across the country to spend any time with each other.

[Molly and I have a  bi-coastal relationship, having met as pen pals

in the fourth grade we've never lived remotely close to each other.]

Two years out from college graduation and I still have yet to make it to Europe.

Luckily, Mollys brother Rory is studying in Cork, Ireland right now.

Once he decided to spend his time abroad in Ireland my jealousy set in.

However since he left a few short weeks ago I'm so excited to

keep up with his explorations on his new blog,

Life in Cork!

Check it out for awesome stories, photos and fun facts about life outside the states!

Style Inspiration: Bows

Recently, everywhere I look I see bows.

Bow belts, hair accessories, rings, necklaces, all sorts of things.

I love how the bows in these pictures are so similar but

give off such different vibes.

What's your current favorite style trend?

Katy Perry: Not Like The Movies

With the craziness of work and life lately

I've had very little time to search for new music finds.

Luckily I have awesome friends who keep me in the loop with the outside world.

This song quickly made its way to the top of my playlist.

Mumford & Sons: After The Storm

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
