Forgiveness -- So Difficult, yet so Cathartic

Friday Reads

This week I #amreading Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas for #DePaul Reads Together. #fridayreads #TGIF

My new WTTW bag...

I love this roomy bag - just stashed my yarn & needle with the pattern for making a Chicago illusion baby blanket! Plus I am showing my love for and support of WTTW, my favorite trio of PBS stations. Pretty cool all around.

Inspiration for 2012 Goals

Karen Salmansohn's bright, positive, proactive messages and the truly brilliant art that accompanies those often bring inspiration to my days.  This is particulary relevant to my goals for 2012.  You can get your own dose of inspiration from Karen on her blog or facebook page.

When you need a little magic. . .

I had a crazy week so today was the first time I was home when my building's office was open and able to grab my packages, which for a change I had several.  The one I was most excited about about was from my friend Sara, who makes fun and funky, and often whimsical, crafts, and I highly encourage you to check out her etsy shop.  Inspired by Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, I plan to wear it whenever I need a little magic in my life.  I'll post the other goodies I purchased from her as I wear/use them. I am truly blessed to have such wonderfully talented and creative friends to keep me inspired!
