Secret Sunday

There is something beautiful about finally figuring out the one things that you are destined to do.

Tell the World...

I'm Coming Home

Las Vegas might not be everyone's favorite place, but to me it is home, and for that it is the most beautiful place I know. There is some place that everyone calls home and it might not be where your family is or your friends. I think home is a place that makes you feel most comfortable, for me that is Las Vegas. When I see the night sky lit up with all these fancy lights, it makes my heart smile.

No Need to Wait Anymore...

SONG OF THE WEEK!

This week's song is: Satellite by Lelia Broussard

So my friend, who is super crazy into music, posted this video on my wall. I think she is absolutely wonderful! She definitely has a unique voice, and that is what is so beautiful. She doesn't really go with the mainstream pop, I hope she stays this way.

Sunday Secret Special

So I couldn't pick which one I liked the best so I have two...a little special treat for all my followers out there.

There is something really sweet about this secret. I love the fact that there is someone out there that could have possibly got that letter, or maybe it did make its way all the way to heaven. Either way, it is beautiful.

On the back of this secret it says, "It is the opposite of everything I have known." 

There is not much else I can say about this, I just think its wonderful.

Little Beautiful Song of the Week

Okay so I know that I have no been very good at this, but I promise once school is over I will be an excellent blogger!

The song of the week is: Happy by Never Shout Never

So I am aware that a lot of my songs are love songs, but I think one of the most beautiful things in this world is love. We would have a lot less problems if everyone just loved a little more.

PostSecret

Isn't there something beautiful about realizing how big the universe is? It just leaves our lives open for so many possibilities and so many places to see. 

Song of the Week...

A day late I am sorry, but at least I remembered right?

Mom this is just for you.

Beauty Overload

There is a girl in my graphic design class

{I am sorry for the amount of things that come from this class ha} 

and she has this Tumbler where she just gets all these nifty pictures. So today 

{when I should have been paying attention in class}

 I went through her website and found some pictures I thought were wonderful examples of beauty. I thought about splitting it up into two posts, but what is the fun in that?

So I am aware this isn't what you would call a "beautiful" picture, but I think the power in this little message IS beautiful. "The Future is Unwritten", it just leaves so much room for the creation and discovery of more beautiful things.

Trying to figure out who YOU are is sometimes the most challenging thing we could ever do, but once we get there, it is the most beautiful thing we could ever do.

We are in a world where money and what the world wants usually takes priority. It is good to sometimes take a break and find the one thing that your heart wants.

I think it is absolutely beautiful how someone is able to take a black bow tie, and make this many different variations of it. It is the simplest things that, at times, are the most beautiful.

I believe this picture kind of sums up the "Beauty Project" I've got going here. Sitting in an office or a classroom all day we can forget what is out in the world. We can get so focused on the ultimate goal we never take a break to look around. Maybe...just maybe, if we take a step back and observe the beauty the Earth has to offer, we might find more than we could ever have hoped for. 

I think snail mail can be the most uplifting and beautiful thing. Mailing letters is kind of a lost activity with email and Facebook messaging. Why wait 3 days when they can have it in 3 seconds? Sometimes...it is worth the wait.

Only then are we open to experience ALL the beauty that God has created.

I thought that this was a wonderful way of showing how each side of the brain works. The analytical side VS the creative side. It is actually an advertisement for Mercedes, what a beautiful way to showcase our brain.

"And come out the other side where people walk upside down."

{quote from Alice in Wonderland...the cartoon}

Oh the beauty that comes from people's imagination and curiosity.

The Beauty in Creativity

So I know that I have not been the best poster for the last few days, but I only have 2 more weeks of school then the blog will be in full swing! 

Well here is another video that I saw in my graphic design class. It is a whole video that talks about creativity and how it is copied or just redone to make something more useful. I think it is awesome to see the beautiful things that come out of creative people, and where they get their inspiration from. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Also it is a bit long so make sure you have some time if you are going to watch it. When the credits come, skip to 7:42 because there is more and it is pretty interesting. 

Late Sunday Secret

Sorry I am aware this is late, it has been quite the crazy weekend...but here it is, my favorite secret from this weeks Secret Sunday...

I absolutely LOVED the message in this one. On the back it says, "I feel like I have to wear it." I think we have all been victims of trying to hide what we really think is beautiful. I hope this girl finally decides to do what she thinks is beautiful, instead of what the world thinks.

Spotlight Birthday

What is more beautiful than birthdays? How about my sister who is a mother and wife? Yup, I think a mix of all of those things makes this a special spotlight birthday post for my dear sister Courtney. 

Here are the 10 reasons why I think my sister is beautiful!

1. She can proudly say that she was called "Timmy" for a good portion of her childhood, and laugh about it.

2. Courtney probably does not know this, but I would cut my hair short too just so I could be like her. I really looked up to her for a lot of the stuff that she did. 

3. She will play Avatar: The Last Airbender with me.

4. She is the most amazing sister who is so willing to help me with anything, and put my name on any present, since I never have money when I'm in school.

5. She doesn't need a lot to be happy. Just her family, and I think that is something that I admire most. Nothing really brings Courtney down. She just does what she needs to do for her family and lets the rest just sort of fall into place.

6. She is a beautiful mother and wife, who is raising two of the cutest and most beautiful kids in the world!

7. Courtney is also an awesome scrapbooker. When I went to go visit her I was very impressed by the amount of books she had gone through and the pictures that were in them. It really was beautiful.

8. She doesn't get embarrassed by me. Courtney actually thinks the stuff I say is funny, even if it is about poop. She also will probably not be embarrassed by this picture and I think that is awesome. 

{Candice on the other hand might...ha}

9. When we were little Courtney would always be willing to play cool games with me and my friends, such as poor, or candlestick tag. Even now that we are older, she is the best at keeping our jokes alive. 

{Inside jokes may follow}

"Honey, I'm Home!" "I'm not playing house!" 

Gran Gran, I know Gran Gran

"You're not fat, you're beautiful" {dear courtney, this is a new one, I just added it ha}

....And die!

10. Well I think this picture pretty much says it all. My beautiful sister Courtney. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'm Sure You've Been Waiting....

For the SONG OF THE WEEK!

This week's song is "The Gambler" by Fun. 

This song just has so many elements of beauty in it. Not only does the piano just add a world of beautiful tones, the lyrics put it all together. I love how this song talks about real life events. They fall in love at second sight, have a family, move to Arizona, and no matter what happens, these two stay together through everything. Isn't love beautiful?
