I have collected shiny rocks, round rocks, smooth rocks, and more rocks that my mother could have imaged my entire life. I have now started to fill a jar in my bathroom to showcase my collection. I seem to consistently collect. I love this picture of the pebbles from the shore of San Francisco. Such a great example of beautiful rocks.In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

This is one of the pictures I took this past summer. I am in love with the islands off the coast of Seattle so much so that I dream of living there. A simple life filled with days watching the waves, walking on the beach and listening to the sounds. Here is what is working for me.... removing the people from my world that are toxic, trust my gut and instincts (I am not sure why we do not do that from the start), and loving the simple friendships of a few close friends. We all need to be like this shell - let the inside show, know how beautiful we are from the inside out, and keep some of the world out by not opening up all the way to brokenness.
