summer's end

end-of-summer obsessions:

harry potter. chuck. coconut records. dead man's bones. sleeping with the windows open. daydreaming and making plans. reminiscing. iced hazelnut cappuccinos. my so-called life.


tennessee has always been so good to me. and this year was no different. full of getting to meet new people and finally getting to know people i've known for years. talks with depth and encouragement. inspiration and sparks being lit. a mix of seriousness and lightheartedness. laughing loud and long in a way i haven't in way too long. getting to know some amazing children who have pure hearts. being reminded that the valley of love is all about pain and that pain is to help us become more awesome. i am fortunate to know some amazing and beautiful people.

(this is the majority of the youth and young adults i had the privilege of spending the long weekend with)


i am so excited to see what the fall will bring!
