** (It seems like the whole world
has changed since last Saturday
when we gathered to celebrate my birthday.
I swing from panic mode
to
I can totally do this.
One thing that hasn't changed
my love of my wonderful family
and
realizing how very much we are all
literally
in this together.
So I hope this post can offer
a little pretty diversion
in unsettling times.
I think there is a calming force
in still
pursuing beauty
in daily rituals.)
It's up to each of us
to be a light for one another.
So here I offer some sweet little tips
to make your take out
a little bit more special.
