Piling into the back of a van we painted only a week earlier, with the creations of our imaginations. I have sat upon the roof, painted a moth with her wings outstretched, the night sky steaming past her as if in flight. I full heartedly feel like I am destined to take this journey. I …

I talk and write quite often about appreciating the small things in life, capturing beauty, being grateful and overall living slower. These are values I hold dear to my heart and I believe that we can all gain a lot more in life from simply appreciating what do have. Beliefs, however, are different from practice …
