I received some awful news today and I am experiencing a funny shift in priorities because of it. Death is a funny thing, striking those you least expect when you least expect it. It makes you pause for a moment and re-evaluate your surroundings. So I am glad for the coming long weekend and for spending some quality time with friends and family. Take a moment this weekend and look around you. You are loved, I promise, and that is more important than all the little things that cause us stress every day. I will back on Monday. xoxo

Happy Beltane! I cannot believe it’s May. This past year has flown by so fast. A year ago, I was preparing to move and two years ago, I was trotting around Australia and neither of those things seem that far in the past. This has been a week of amazing coincidence, reflection, love and luck. I am hoping for more of the same this weekend only with the added bonus of some premature summer weather. Bring on the sunglasses! Hope you all have a great one. xo

I love art. I mean, obviously. There is nothing like purchasing a unique art piece to hang on your walls that truly speaks to you. However, I know that purchasing the real thing isn’t possible for everyone. But that is still no excuse for buying poster art at Ikea! (Ick!) Your walls – like everything else in your home – should be adorned with something that you love, even if you make it yourself. Fortunately, there are some creative minds out there that have come up with some great DIY art ideas. Get inspired below.

Friends, this week was yet another great reminder to hold those important to us tighter and to express those feelings a little more often. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. Be grateful in the moment always. Hugs all around. xoxo
