I wanted to post a short blogget about one of my favorite Christian radio speakers. His name is Chip Ingram and I have truly been blessed by his ministry. Each day you can listen to a 30 minute podcast that downloads through I-Tunes at no cost. He speaks to me every time. I love listening to him early in the morning. You can check him out at www.lote.org. Hope you are blessed, just as I have been!
Love to all!

The Noticer
Last nite was Chick-Fil-A and Bookstore night with my husband. I love a good bookstore night. As I was browsing the New Bestsellers section, I happened upon a book called, The Noticer. It immediatly got my attention. I am really wanting to read this book about noticing influential people in your life. I found a clip on youtube that gives you a deeper look into this intriguing story. Take a Look!

Balancing Acts
We hear the word balance so often...well-balanced diet, balanced literacy, balanced check-books.
We all want balance in our lives. We want to feel as if we are prioritizing our life accordingly.Balance is an essential component of happiness. When all aspects of your life are in harmony, it puts your mind, body, and spirit on an equal level. The definition of balance will be completely different from person to person. It is up to you to find the balance that is right for you. However, living simple will always help you create balance in your life.
This week I am setting out to find ways I can feel balanced in life and still enjoy all my favorite things.
The Plan:
I am going to take 6-7 rocks and write on each of them an area of my life I need to feel more balance...ex- spiritual...financial...ec....these rocks will go on the top of the tower....as I complete a task that is on the top I will take the rock off and place it aside...Hopefully by the end of the week my pile will be gone and I will feel a little more balanced. Any ideas on how you keep your life balanced????
Namaste

Sunday Song- Let the Love by Sandrine
I posted this in an old blog about a year ago and just rediscovered it today. The song is Let the Love, written by Sandrine. It is just right for a Sunday night. Good night to all and happy days ahead!
Fresh
Fresh-: having its original qualities unimpaired: as (1): full of or renewed in vigor : refreshed (2): not stale, sour, or decayed (3): not faded (4): not worn or rumpled b: not altered by processing
What a great word. I like saying it.
These are 10 things that make me feel fresh
1. lemons
2. morning showers
3. Rain chewing gum
4. Acoustic guitar
5. watermelon
6. kissing
7. porch sitting
8. watering my flowers
9. a new white tee
10. the color green
Hope your Sunday is sweet, satisfying, and so very Fresh.

Two Birds On a Wire....
Regina Spektor's new album "Far" is absolutely amazing. And as "Far" as I'm concerned, the song "Birds" is deserving of some listening! Check it out!

we were featured on ivkweddings.wordpress.com....we love KRISTY!
here is part of it...
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year! Whether you’re in a loving relationship or a savvy and ultra-flirty single gal like myself…it’s a great way to pamper yourself and those you love! Who doesn’t enjoy a nice dinner, a lovely massage, and oh the chocolate that is just so yummy you can’t resist it! Recently I had the honor of meeting the “2008 Most Stunning Couple of the Year” for an engagement shoot in Mount Holly, NC. Okay, so they aren’t really a title holder of the best couple of anything award, but they are stunning, kept me laughing the entire time, and absolutely in love. Enjoy a fun photoshoot held with these two love birds and Happy Valentine’s Day from me to you here at IVK Weddings. PS- If you have any extra chocolate left over I’ll substitute it for a free photoshoot…okay, maybe not, but it sure is a tempting offer isnt it
Be sure to visit ivkwedding.wordpress.com! Kristy does wonderful work. Check it out!

cutest video ever
i love anything unique. this video is just that. i think it it so very cute and I could watch it over and over. ahhhhhhhh....
seeing the beauty....alicia bock
But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall.
Then I think we would see the beauty.
Then we would stand staring in awe at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges,
like a story told by the fault lines and the soil.
alicia bock is one of my absolute favorite artists. after hearing the lyrics from the song bowl of oranges, i thought i would select a photo of hers that refelected those lyrics. her artwork is so earthy and raw and simply beuatiful...as are these lyrics. let them sink in. they are true and real words.
