I was downloading pics off my phone a few days ago, and came across this snapshot from a few weekends ago. John and I brought a blanket to the park, listened to music nestled in the shade of a Live Oak tree, and daydreamed. After a while, the sun peeked out from behind the leafy greens and shone bright in my face. I squinted my eyes tight, let the smile spread across my face, and just felt content. Happy. One of my most favorite quotes in the whole wide world came to mind, with me sprawled out in the sunshine with my husband laying next to me. I snapped this pic so I could remember that moment.

Now I'm sharing it with you because this quote is a shining example of how to love....and how we all dream of being loved in return. Just beautiful.

Also...this might be one of the corniest posts I have ever written.

Oh Willie, you never fail to impress me. Just when I think I have you figured out (an Austin legend with a deep love of bandanas and bud who can pick and sing like no other), you go ahead and blow my mind with these gems of wisdom. I had no choice but to gussy up your words in Photoshop with the intention of plastering them on our walls as a daily reminder of the awesomeness of life, love, God, family, friends....and of course, you.

I read this quote by Oscar Wilde, and got a good chuckle from it. God knows that looking back on this blog, there are some posts where I can only salvage my self-esteem by declaring cleverness as an excuse for my late-night mumbly-jumbly posts. So, my clever and witty readers, I made this awesome wall art printable for you to enjoy. Thank you all so much for checking in each day to tune into my tangents on fashion, design, and this crazy thing called life.....I just want to give each of you a big hug. A super squeezy, long, awkward hug.

As usual, this is just for fun and free for you to download....all I ask is that if you care to spread the  please provide proper links back to my blog and this article. Thanks!

Julian Bialowas is a photographer and graphic design student with a very inspiring idea - take a photograph snapped all by himself, overlay it with a motivating quote, and post a new photo everyday for an entire year. Brilliant.
