Coffee Date

I follow many, many blogs. Probably too many to count with just my fingers. One thing that they all do and is very common in the blogging world is virtual coffee dates. Why? For some reason bloggers love coffee. Also, coffee dates are relaxed times of conversation to catch up with one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pour in a little cream, and lets catch up.

If we were on a coffee date, I would tell you it is summer. Finally. I would tell you how I can't wait to read new books and magazines, eat fresh fruit and vegetables, drink my coffee on the back patio in the mornings, and wear pretty sundresses every chance I get.

If we were on a coffee date, I would tell you about how my photography is finally kicking off. I am taking some portraits next week for another senior girl and hope to do some more for a few families. Yippee!

If we were on a coffee date, I would tell you how about the new book I just started reading today. It is called Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist. I am in love with her writing style and the simple truths she shares. Her goal to find the "pretty pearls" of life and hold on to the precious moments we are given, inspires me in many ways. If you are looking for an easy and captivating summer read, you should definitely check it out.

Lastly, if we were on a coffee date, I would tell you how amazed I am. How amazed I am by life. By the power of listening to a song with the windows rolled down. By the power of a little sunshine on a summer day. By the power of coffee on a quiet morning in bed. By the thoughtfulness of people and simple acts of kindness. It really is amazing. I pray you too will find power behind the little things.

Living Love,
