And I just showed up for my own life
And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
~ Just Showed Up For My Own Life, Sara Groves
My name is Kristy.
I am a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, dog owner, home owner, decorator, crafter, cook, hostess, organizer, and traveler. I have been a dog foster parent, jewelry maker, nursery director, singer, small group leader, and child advocate. I've lived in three different states (one of them twice) and two different countries in my adult life.
But mostly, I'm just a child of God, trying to live day by day in this life adventure.
But now, this is what the LORD says —
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name;
you are mine."
- Isaiah 43:1
Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day.
Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain.
There's no path to follow, once you're here.
You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs.
It's foreign on this side, but it feels like I'm home again.
There's no place to hide but I don't think I'm scared.
- Nickel Creek, This Side
why this song?
Wow - it's good to know that I'm not alone. I too am enamored of the Pottery Barn catalog. I actually do as far as to clip my favorite room layouts and keep them in a decorating journal (for that one day when I actually have the time/money/inclination to follow through...).
ReplyDeleteJillian, I do the same. As a matter of fact, there are so many that they are organized by room. :-)
ReplyDeleteGalen, I'm not sure I'm comfortable taking decorating advice from you. :-)
Ok this is very good to know Kristy because I recently ran out of room for my cookbooks in my little cabinet space. SO...I stacked them side by side on my kitchen table with bookends on either side. Actually it is great because I can access them easily and it inspires me to keep the table free from other junk.
