“How fun!” I find myself exclaiming this many times throughout the week. Here are just a few things that touched me or made me smile:
I really like this song God Day by Jen Stranbro. I heard it on the Inspired to Action podcast about Jessi Connelly.
*****
I mentioned here that I love houses. Victoria Elizabeth Barnes is a really fun blog by a couple who are restoring their 1890 Victorian house. Victoria has a slight obsession with Craig’s list and has a flair for the beautiful!

I’ve added another book to my summer reading list: A Fine Romance by Susan Branch. It’s all about her trip to England with beautiful hand painted illustrations.

I recently read this fascinating article about creativity and walking. “Many of our famous authors and painters and composers were huge walkers that would go walking for inspiration.”-John Ratey
