One Meaningful Moment

"Today is unique! It has never occurred before, and it will never be repeated. At midnight it will end, quietly, suddenly, totally. Forever. But the hours between now and then are opportunities with eternal possibilities." -Charles R. Windoll
God has reserved momentous victories and great rewards for us. But we will never make it to our milestones if we can't make it through our moments.

Beat those Winter Blues


Pack your bags and lets take a trip...



Its about this time each year when I want to go deep into my closet and pull out a colorful shift, big floppy hat, and a my flip flops and head to the beach with a good summer read. Unfortunately...winter has just begun. I wanted to highlight this beach house that my sister designed this past fall in St. Kitts (because I am such a slacker blogger...better late than never!) It screams "Escape to me"! Its comfy while being modern and chic all at the same time. Oh how talented my sissy is.... Enjoy!

The Hidden Face on the Cup

If you are like me when you leave the Starbuck's counter, you are too focused on the deliciousness inside of the cup to notice what is on the outside. Apparently there is true meaning in that logo and she has a name...The Siren.
So who is "The Siren....Let’s go all the way back to 1971, to when Starbucks was first coming to be. In a search for a way to capture the seafaring history of coffee and Seattle’s strong seaport roots, there was a lot of poring over old marine books going on. Suddenly, there she was: a 16th century Norse woodcut of a twin-tailed mermaid, or Siren. There was something about her – a seductive mystery mixed with a nautical theme that was exactly what the founders were looking for. A logo was designed around her, and our long relationship with the Siren began."

So what do you think of the new logo for your cup that gets the day started?!?!
