anthro update

spring break procrastination i can't believe it's already spring break, i'm finally getting enough sleep everynight...

but i feel like i could just stay asleep this entire week. i'm finally posting an anthropologie update! it's been far too long.

these images are from a month ago. i'm planning on bringing my camera in tomorrow & then to the teaching artist after school program

to show a bit of what we're up to. there has been so many changes to the store since i last shot. we've been doing a lot of painting & building!

this little textured wall piece you'll see was a fun little project, compared to the massive living wall that we created at the michigan ave & chicago space.

my mom was trying to get me to come home this week but i didn't want to take time away from my other commitments... now i'm regretting it a bit.

i miss my family right now. i need to be better about writing them letters. im going to try and make that a priority this week.

la mouche est morte

i'm struggling posting such utopic images right now. i've had them for a little while, i took them at the new bhldn store near my apartment.
i'm having a hard time sharing them tonight because this isn't real life. as a heads up i've been hit in the face with real life this week,
there are many things to celebrate but writing this i'm full of pain, for ones i love, for those i do not know, for the evil in this world and
for the trials & struggles we must overcome. these beautiful things are not real life, but are en enjoyable escape.

i've started some changes this week, re-evaluating priorities & reflecting. i will soon be able to rest more, but right now that is so unsettling.
the pressure i feel for ---- movement & productivity---- is weighing down on me day by day. i periodically feel guilty for the things
i've been occupying my time with. feeling selfish & unresponsive ---to the issues i am truly passionate about.
life happens. gard yourself, be bold, you were bought with a price, know that you were created for purpose.
know that you are loved.
know that we are in this together... and that our heavenly father is omnipotent as well as omnipresent. 
omni = all; of all things

for we can not live on bread alone

 



the fly is dead.

betsey + shea

i've been listening to these podcasts on prayer by Mark Driscoll. some people really don't like how harsh he is, but i appreciate his honesty, i think it's good for us to have blunt people speak truth into our lives.

be bold, we have nothing to fear. if God is for us who can be against us?

here is pretty sister shea trying on betsey johnson in chicago. i miss her & can't wait to have her live with me this summer.
