There are two types of realist. There is the one who offers a good deal of dirt with his potato to show that it is a real potato. And there is the one who is satisfied with the potato brushed clean. I am inclined to be the second kind. To me, the thing that art does for life is to clean it, to strip it to form. —Robert Frost

i agree with the fuzzy hair cuts! and i second the hubby returning home and not being in iraq! (after all hes also my brother

So did you win that beautiful necklace? I saw that Jenny quoted you and said, “Jess said it best.” I agree. Even if we’re not mothers, the power to create is inextricably connected to our everyday lives. It is a part of our divine nature that cannot be taken away and that influences every facet of our lives.
