Remarkable moments don't just happen, most of the time we must plan or have a vision for them.
That's not to say that we don't get SURPRISED by the most wonderful , seemingly small acts of kindness, the warm smile of a child, or meeting someone with a heart the size of an ocean!
But I hope to plan a little more time for:
- playing games with my loved ones
- taking time for a non-elaborate, but tasty meals with my awesome friends
- creating some innovative new recipes with ingredients unfamiliar to me
- drinking lots of 1000faces coffee! ( local coffee roaster, Athens, GA)
- cherishing my moments with Jesus... and living life from the inside out
- finding new ways to support my mom in the battle with ovarian cancer, and treasuring every day with her!
- posting some recipes and pics to the blog...
