New Lookbook Sneak Peak >>>

Ive been working on a new collection of jewelry for my Roots and Feathers shop, and Ive been anticipating making a new lookbook for it.  I had all of these big ideas in my head, and it was going to include another model, but she only has one day off a week, and I got the urge, so I just got up this morning and did it myself.  Ive spent the last 7 hours taking photos and editing...  I love love love doing these shoots.  Its the one thing I can get so into, that I just go go go for hours without stopping to eat or breathe.  Im very passionate for it.  This one isnt going to be as big as last season's lookbook, but I still love it.  Im hoping to have it finished in the next day or so!

PEACE,

Laura

Light Leaks >>>

 

 

Another little session of light leaks.  These are kind of my favorite photos.  I could take pics like this all day long.

Today was a very hard day to face, but one that needed to be faced, and Im happy to say its done.  Im quite exhausted.  We stayed up way too late with friends last night (although it was fun and worth it).  We had some friends over to celebrate james bday a bit early since it falls on a thursday this year.  Good company, yummy food by candlelight in the backyard, then was followed by a hysterical attempt of me and two girlfriends trying to do bellydancing and brazilian workouts from videos.  We did more laughing than anything, but that was the fun part!  Today was a packed full day of moving things from my dad's house for my brother.  We got alot accomplished, but it was an emotionally taxing thing to do for all of us.  Im so happy to go to sleep in my bed tonite.  It's only 7:45 and I just may make my way in there very very soon.  Maybe just snuggle up with a book and a kitty until I drift off.

PEACE,

Laura

Courage - A New Year Ahead >>>

Blessings and Gratitude to a NEW YEAR!  Funny how the world works sometimes, the fact that it is a new year during my deepest time of transition and new beginnings.  I feel like my mom has sent me a few angels in the past few months, to fluff my feathers and prepare me on my new journey of flight.  I have been too afraid to really delve into my emotions of losing my dad, and Im slowly becoming ready to face the darkness.  I keep reminding myself of the lovely quote:

*found via pinterest here*

As I was reading the words of my friends blog post about her mission of doing brave things and having her yearly word be 'unafraid' - I realized I am right there with her.  I felt her words resonate within me, as if I was suppose to be reading them.  I love that we can do that for each other here in this online community.  Im looking forward to taking the winter course with SouLodge, and spending more quality time with my own heart.  Right now I feel as if I am gathering all the sticks and remnants I will need to keep my fires burning through the winter, until the sun decides to come out re-grow the things that have died from the year past. 

New month, there are all new lovely sponsors up on the blog, spend some time to check them out if you wish.  And I also made my first treasury of the year this morning! 

PEACE,

Laura
