From Anthropologie...looks like they didn't get my letter. Just a few things I would like for myself...but which color? Don't say both because you know I am realistically not even getting one...

Well I couldn't resist something for the home-
My love for this coat is deep, this will be the one (well one of the million "ones") that got away.
It is in the upper 90's today and I am looking at sweaters.
Still debating about this one. Love the contrast and the idea behind the print, not sure it is love though.
***Also a HUGE thank you to Yansy over at DESIGNING LIFE for my fabulous paper weight I won! It says, "You Never Achieve Success Unless You Like What You're Doing". A great daily reminder!
Just Browsing The New Catalog....

Our inventory of the small designs of house (which we define as houses in less the sf of 1.800 of alive space) continues to develop, just as made our collection of small plans of fuselage and small plans of house. We work now with a certain number of architects who are known to create small exceptional designs at the house. The small designs at the house can be ideal for people on a tightened budget, or which it need less space than their current house provides. A thing that all our small house envisages have in common is an effectiveness of the space, which often means plan of open space.

A while back I asked for opinions on wood floors for bathrooms. Well, the response was great and now I want to know what you think about wood floors in the kitchen! I have only had tile (I have yet to have any input into a kitchen that I live in) but I think I would like wood. Are there downsides though? Dents, dings, spills? Let me know what you think!

I was out of town this weekend spending some quality time with the family so I will do a quick post for now followed by more later. While flipping through a magazine this picture caught my eye because of how cute the woman looks, love the glasses!

Then I was looking through J. Crew and found a look-a-like. Could be her granddaughter don't you think?

Quiet Time- Every Day Glory

If I focus on the plan of my life, I will ride a rollercoaster of ups & downs as the circumstances change. If however I focus on the purpose of my life then I have an anchor & I'll be grounded, able to ride thru the storms. so what is my purpose? It is to glorify God - and that can be done in ALL circumstances - Anita Bucher.
This was sent to me this week from a very dear friend and the timing could not have been more perfect. When planning my future plans I do ask God for guidance, but this made me realize that I had not been asking him what is my purpose.
While we all have different purposes, we are on this earth to do one thing, glorify God. This is rarely on the top of my list, every day life quickly takes over, which I am working on. Sometimes that can be overwhelming, wondering what is your purpose on this earth.
However, in the mean time it is easy to glorify God in small ways. This weekend I was blown away by the kindness of strangers- the VERY pregnant girl who got up from her chair at the salon to open the door for my Grandmother, the man in heavy traffic who stopped to let us out when nobody else would, the amazing workers at her assisted living home who have the hardest job I think and still are there every day with a smile and kind word.
Little acts of kindness, a little showing of love for strangers, these things glorify God every day. While we wait to discover God's plan for us, the first step I think is acting in a way to shows others God's love is in your heart.
