Just for you...



"I'm thinking of you this morning, wherever you are, and of the difference you're making.

You might think it's small.

You might think no one really sees.

You might think you should do something bigger, better, more spiritual.

 
But lean in and listen close...

The best gift you can offer this world is you.

And that's what you're doing--

just putting messy, glorious, imperfect, made-new you out there.

In your home, your family, your office, your community, your world.

We'd miss you if you weren't there. It just wouldn't be the same. And no one could take your place.


So keep it up, my friend. Keep giving and loving and living right where you are.

It matters more than you know, more than you see.

{And you do too.}

xoxo

The first two photos are of a candleholder that my bff gave me and I am getting them posted rather late in the season. She doesn't like "stuff"...{at least not most "stuff"} so she passed this along to me. I printed out a vellum cover for the candle and added a vintage gauze ribbon. It is right at home in my decor.
The 2nd candle is one that I remade the outside of. I am not into cowboy stuff (original candle shown in last photo) , but loved the smell of the candle {from Goodwill} so purchased it, brought it home and prettied it up. :)
Happy Friday everyone!!

  11. Sandi, dear faraway friend, I do not wish to burden you with details, but those words were sent through you from God. You have no idea what they mean to me. I pray someday we will meet in person, I wish to give you a *real* hug for all the beauty you bring into my life.
    *Hugs*
