Excitingly Small Events

There's a lot of things I could be writing right now.

I started writing a post. Actually I full-on finished a post. But it's a bit too much and a bit too raw to publish. So we'll skip that for now.

Instead, here's a few things in no particular order that have authentically and genuinely excited me or reached down deep in me in some way. I'm back to lists, folks, and I won't apologize.

• I got to help a dear friend surprise another dear friend with her arrival. There's nothing like truly surprising someone and seeing them scream and jump up and down.
• My little brother played at the Hard Rock Cafe on Beale St. in Memphis, TN for his friend Apollo Mighty. He's to the left, the bearded one wearing the vest with the guitar. *big sister freak out time*

Via Apollo Mighty

• I ordered 5 pairs of Warby Parker glasses for their home try-on. I'll pick my favorite pair and once I buy them Warby Parker will send a pair of glasses to someone in need. iamsoexcited.
•  Nickel Creek is returning. Enough said.

• In 8 days I will be 20 years old. Just let that sink in. You don't understand my excitement.
• Thoughts and images of summer. My vitamin D is lacking and I need to see the sun.

• One of my best friends sent me a simple black cord necklace with a tiny pendent that says "love" and I haven't taken it off. She also sent me tea. She loves me.
• John Mark McMillan "Future / Past"

"The constellations are swimming inside

The breadth of your desire
Where could I run, where could I hide
from your heart's jealous fire"

Also check out his song "Love at the End."

• "The Thing About Being a Poinsettia" by Sarah Thebarge. I got a poinsettia tattooed on my right shoulder in December and little did I know how much it would mean to me. I knew the legend and what it meant, how God takes the little things and transforms them into beauty. But this means something so different and something so much more and I am so, so thankful.

Thank you for reading. Blog post ideas are welcome. :)
