Thankful for Friday and Happy Easter

Easter is my favorite holiday of the year. Most people count Christmas as the top dog, but I love spring, love Jesus, and am always re-amazed by His sacrifice for us and the power of the resurrection. Over time, I've come to substitute a quiet time in nature over the baskets, bunnies, eggs and candies. He made me, He made the beauty all around me, and I am so thankful.

Hope your Easter is joyous and your weekend is full of fun!

Perspective

One of the wonderful blogs I follow, Kala Pohl Studio, posted this YouTube video, recognized by the Cannes Film Festival 2008. Please be sure to have your speakers turned on and don't miss the English subtitles at the end--unless you speak or read Spanish.




For me, watching this short story put a host of issues going on in my world into a much more accurate perspective. With any issue there is always a way to find hope and joy. I hope you can all see the beauty of this day and of days to come!

"Thus (through perspective) every sort of confusion is revealed within us; and this is that weakness of the human mind on which the art of conjuring and of deceiving by light and shadow and other ingenious devices imposes, having an effect upon us like magic... And the arts of measuring and numbering and weighing come to the rescue of the human understanding--there is the beauty of them--and the apparent greater or less, or more or heavier, no longer have the mastery over us, but give way before calculation and measure and weight." ~Plato

Danielle Miller Jewelry: dynamic motion = pure joy

Browsing in the Etsy forums tonight I found a blog, which lead me to a Trunkt portfolio and eventually the Etsy shop of Danielle Miller Jewelry (see photos below). Simple, unfettered, peaceful lines and all those lovely circles. Yes, there are a number of jewelry super stores at the ritzy malls in our town, but I'm putting Danielle Miller Jewelry on my wish list for Christmas this year. Visit her blog to view photos and read about how she crafts her fine wares!
