Yesterday I read this:

“Because everything will never be okay. And everything is always okay.”

If you are anything like me, you desperately want everything to be okay. You fear the worst even though you are not sure what the worst is. You hope you don’t look like a fool. You worry you are overlooking a glaring mistake. Little mess-ups trip you up. Fearing the potential of not being okay is crazy but if you are anything like me, you do it more than you care to acknowledge. But here is what I am thinking. Everything does not have to be ‘okay’. Mistakes happen. We mess up. Act on emotions instead of wisdom. Make a bad decision. Tried something that didn’t work. Experience heart ache. But you know what? We will be okay.

It is not all okay. And that’s okay. Because we are okay. And we will continue to be okay.

Okay is actually pretty remarkable.
Shall we know we are okay and be okay today?

This is a shot of Bethany from this past week. Studio days with the team are full of conversation, planning, working hard, and laughter too. Love these girls so much.

We hope these links inspire you like they did us.

Char : Can I wear this outfit everyday (minus the real leather)?

Anna : The perfect breakfast to welcome in the morning.

Claire : A fascinating article that suggests evidence that some of our babies’ cells actually become part of our own bodies after birth.

Hailey : My heart skips a beat when people use their gifts to serve others, like this little knitwear shop that gives hope to children in Haiti.

Crystal : Finding myself swooning over and dreaming of having one of these handmade clutches as my own.

Bethany : Reading and re-reading this great article on choosing to carry peace instead of chaos.

Happy Friday friends. xo
