An Easter Blessing

A few days ago, I brought some pictures from my Scotland trip to the local Starbucks in hopes they may be interested in displaying them. An Easter blessing was upon me this morning when I walked in to get my usual cup of joe (a tall americano with an extra shot), and saw my photos staring back at me. I am so excited for people to see them!

Prior to Easter, I spent my weekend at the lakes.

The sun was shinning, the snow was melting.

 It was glorious. 

We were able to get a few hours of snowshoeing in, followed by delicious food and wine!

A weekend at the lakes, is a weekend well spent!

Happy Easter,

I want to be apart of it...

New York, New York!

It's official, only 74 days until my best friend, Meghan, and I venture to NYC.

Words cannot even begin to describe the kind of excitement I'm feeling.

It's hard to believe we first began planning this trip as only freshman in high school!

Now, 4 years later, it's actually going to happen.

Here's a little peak into our NYC bucket list...

The Lion King on Broadway

Top of the Rock

Serendipity 3

Strolling in Central Park

5th Ave

Grand Central Station

Swan Lake at the American Ballet Theatre

Shakespeare in the Park

Stopping at quaint little coffee shops and used bookstores

The MoMa and Guggenheim Museum

Times Square

Brooklyn Bridge

New York Public Library

And more...  Any other suggestions?

I can't wait to share stories and pictures of our first experience in the big apple.

It's sure to be quite the adventure!

Captivated.

Coffee// Cameras// Books// Travel// Fashion// Food
A few of my favorite things.

I have always been captivated by the way you can see someone’s passion in their eyes when they talk about the thing they love. Their eyes gleam with excitement and fill with light. It’s infectious. Passion is something our hearts desire, and it ultimately defines who we are.

A song I feel fully embodies the idea and feel of passion is called
 “This Is Beautiful”, by singer/songwriter Tyrone Wells.
It goes something like this…

“I never could have seen this coming

The most amazing things

They arrive within a moment

You are here with me, I'm alive all of a sudden

Anyone can see, anyone can see it's beautiful

You set off avalanches in my heart”

For me, this song fully embodies the feeling of passion and desire.

Although I believe Tyrone wrote this song about love for another person, you can certainly relate it to all aspects of life. Whether coffee and books, fashion and photography, or a compelling case of wanderlust, surround yourself with whatever it is that makes you happy. I for one, am remarkably intrigued by all the above.

I am excited to share with you my stories and pictures, along with thoughts and ideas about anything and everything. Enjoy!
