gift for observation, for
making my heart dance, for

You must absolutely read her book.
Yes, L.L., teach me the way of your blossom. I want to learn what it is you know about her.

I read her book -- and I keep rereading it and rereading it!
That photo is gorgeous, too...
I love InsideOut -- and that photo is superb. A perfect match!
Agreed! I bought "Inside Out" for my birthday (about two weeks ago). The perfect gift.
Perfect! Beauty twins.
That is very high praise, Laura...
The question, which none of us can answer, is who came out on the better end of that high praise. The scales, they fail to tip.
Twins indeed.
...simply gorgeous...
I came. Was blessed. The end.
That was just perfect.
Everyone beat me to the comments!
Seriously, a gorgeous pairing of words and image mirroring the spirit and soul inside.
these two were meant to be dance partners ...
That photo brought me to tears with its beauty.
I have Inside Out on my nightstand in a big stack of books... thanks for the reminder :)
Made my way here via Joy's blog. Haven't much time to read now but loved your "About" post. Can identify with much there.
Blessings
Kelly,
I so love L.L.
and you.
this photo is my absolute all time favourite. Thank you so much for seeing the way you do.
Mine came today...did a little happy mail dance! :) I loved the webcast from IAM-to hear it read in her voice was a treat. Your photography makes me drool.
So happy to 'know' you both.
Hi Kelly! What a delightful surprise to have your visit and get to 'see you' too. You have a beautiful place here.. wonderful words and pictures - two of my favorite things! Blessings :-)
