sophie and annie on the swing at gradma and grandpa’s house just a few minutes ago.

the more years that pass, the deeper my gratitude grows.

this week be sure to create a few photos that capture what you are thankful for.

Thanks and TEDx!

first and foremost, thanks for all the wonderful congratulations on the birth of elsie!! we are absolutely loving having her be part of our life – amazing!

next week (nov 11, 2011) i have the incredible privilege of giving a presentation at tedx! to learn more about the event click here. the theme for the conference is the spark within and my talk is titled, “finding the magnificent in the mundane”. above is a quick iphone pick from when i was preparing my talk. i always find it helpful to start with journals, doodles and the written word. if you’d like to watch my previous tedx talk you can do so by clicking here.

if you are attending the conference, be sure to say hello. otherwise, i’ll post a link to the video once it is live. until then, i could use all the good words and encouragement i can get!
