Quote-able

One of my favorite stories is Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
I stumbled upon this website where there were quotes available to view and simply put, I find them fascinating. My desire is to be as articulate and wise in the way I write and speak when I express my heart.
Perhaps in time I shall be, but for now I will leave you with a few quotes that seem to resonate with my heart and thoughts of late.

“You don’t need scores of suitors. You need only one… if he’s the right one.” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“I don't pretend to be wise, but I am observing, and I see a great deal more than you'd imagine. I'm interested in other people's experiences and inconsistencies, and, though I can't explain, I remember and use them for my own benefit.” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“Love Jo all your days, if you choose, but don't let it spoil you, for it's wicked to throw away so many good gifts because you can't have the one you want.” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end. (Jo March)” 
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Changing Leaves

"I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end."   ~Jo March,  Louisa May Alcott, Little Women. A few years ago, I upgraded to a new-to-me, used iPhone.  The camera was better, the storage slightly larger for my obsessive hobby of taking photos of things that caught my eye during walks.  (Let me be honest, it happened far too often, but then again, it's who I am!) My friend's husband jokingly asked if it came with a photo album of leaves, or something along those lines. To his credit, it was a witty and hilarious joke that reflected a reality and truth, that all who were present knew very well... Sheena sure loved to post photos of leaves. I can't help it, my breath catches and I want to document the moment, the transition and to share it with others.  The difference between today and tomorrow is everything in this season.  So, I don't want to miss this moment, th...

Chucking things in a bin

In an attempt to be productive tonight, I found myself rummaging through boxes filled with collections from my teenage years I found it very interesting to look back and discover things kept that were once important to me. Items that held sentiment, dreams,goals and hope for the future, or memories of moments I never wanted to forget Tonight I found myself looking at these items through different lenses Chucking things in the bin became a overwhelming source of freedom Not everything, by any means, but certain things that no longer held value or use, found their way into the bin. Now if only I could be as decisive on my future... Where the road leads, I have no idea, but I am excited for what adventure is around the corner

An Open Letter to the Bride To Be...

Dearest Katie, I still remember when you were a little girl. If I came to say hello to you at recess, you would always greet me with a running hug. You were my little cousin. You wanted so badly to be our friend, but the years between us created a separation. What a privilege to be a volunteer youth leader when you started at Youth group. I watched you dream, aspire and achieve. You discovered your gifts, talents and things that excited your heart. Those were the years I saw you transform from a little girl into a beautiful young lady. A young lady who I grew to admire. Whose maturity, integrity, wisdom, love and generosity were well beyond her years. Eventually the chasm between us in age became less important and the shift happened. You went from ‘my little cousin’ to my friend. Friend. We dreamed. We laughed. We drove cars through the country roads and explored Ontario. You humoured my love for all things Jane Austen, which became a slow trickle that built a well ...
