up next
There's a habit being formed here... whoops. A third of December is gone, and admittedly, so too have a few of these plans been put to bed. I have a lot more on my mind for tying up the tail end of 2018, much of which is woven into experiencing Advent, being deeply grateful for this life I've been granted, and savoring the miracle of this Christmas season, as I eagerly pave the way for 2019.
Life has taught us how to find our own ways through the ups and downs of resolutions and altered plans... of navigating the surprises and heartaches. How to trudge through the lulls of dull winters and trying in vain to slow the rapid-fire nature of warmer seasons that plow unrelenting at us--but there's something so inspiring about concluding a year--truly, honestly reflecting and knowing with confidence that every little moment and situation had its place in your story--and marching right into the promise of the next, knowing (and yet, not knowing) all it will undoubtedly hurl your way.
I hope wherever you are, whatever is on your immediate horizon, you find something fondly to remember 2018 for, and that you have more than a few things to smile about, pondering what 2019 holds.
Happy December, lovelies--three weeks left until 2019!
I mean, okay. Somehow, some way, November is half gone. Thanksgiving looms before us, and suddenly everyone in my inner circle and beyond is carefully orchestrating their Christmas decor all the while my dogs' Halloween costumes are still haphazardly tossed in the corner of our kitchen collection corner (come on--everyone has one of those). I'm scrambling a little to catch up, but I'm swimming in great excuses for how I've stayed busy here lately.
So, my confession to you is that yes, some of my November to-dos have already been to-done. But there's still enough to cross off my agenda (and to recap here!) so without further ado...
...a mere 48 days remain between now and 2019. What are you going to do with 'em??
I could quote the Anne of Green Gables line, but I'll spare you as you've all heard it a million times anyway. I mentioned this on an instagram post earlier today, but the control-loving, orderly and structured side of me is giddy over the idea that tomorrow ushers in a new day, new week, new month. I've been eagerly anticipating October for a while, largely due to our many autumn-oriented plans. Here's a teaser of what's on deck for me:
What do you have going on in October??
Also, I want to thank each and every one of you who took time out of your day to read this post, and reach out to me with so much love and warmth. It means more to me than you realize, and I am so very assured that the world we're living in is evolving for the better day-by-day due to the tender love and care, and utter refusal to accept anything but a better tomorrow by folks like you. Thank you.
suggestions, please!

weekend, I love you.
so, now I come to you, asking for help. we're jetsetting a little bit in october and november, and would love any suggestions you have for what we need to embrace in asheville, austin and san francisco!
I grew up an hour north of austin, and know the touristy high points. so what I'm asking for here is what you would absolutely push us to see/do/eat, knowing we'll be there for less than 24 hours. is there anything new-ish (within the past five years) that would be life-changing for us to experience?
october is taking us to asheville for a wedding weekend, so we're jazzed to do all of the hiking and brewery bouncing. we've been to sierra nevada, wicked weed, hi-wire, burial... and we know the biltmore is beautiful and all, but please! all brewery/coffeehouse/unique hike suggestions welcomed!
and november will usher us out to san francisco--mostly so J can attend a work conference, but I'll have a lot of solo time, and we'd love to know your eatery/coffee/bookstore recs especially.
I will always gravitate more toward hole-in-the-wall establishments, and tend to avoid the mainstream "top ___ dinners" lists that anyone can google from their phone. so, the more obscure or tucked away, the better.
thank you, thank you, thank you! now, feel free to go about your weekends.
