bloom.

kelle hampton's book bloom is coming out soon on harper collins.

i so very much admire her ability to transform life's challenges into joy and gratitude.

her blog makes her life look like it's 100 percent magic. i'm sure that's not the case; that there are many trying times as well.

having met her i know she is not in denial about life's hardships. but her unfailing pursuit of joy has been very inspiring to me during difficult times.

how many people do you know who work this hard to see the good in life?

i hear bloom is going to get some major national exposure, so look for it soon.

happy friday, my lovelies. i am thankful for you and the beauty you bring to my world.
