Sudden Silence

My busy-bee weekend plans have taken a very quick turn. Mike and I are headed down to Florida tomorrow morning for his Grandmother's viewing and funeral. I'd gotten him tickets to a Braves game (and other attractions) for his birthday that were scheduled for this weekend along with a garage sale planned but those things can happen some other time.

Above: Mikey chatting with my Aunt and Uncle on the 4th of July up in Ohio... one of those weekends we had a chance to get out of the hustle-bustle

Mikey just sent me a link to THIS POST by Paul Orfalea, founder of Kinko's, and it really struck a chord. I know his point of "moving 90 miles per hour, 24/7, since elementary school" is exactly how I felt earlier this year when I DESPERATELY needed some margin in my life.

One of the biggest problems in our schools and workplaces is that we confuse activity with results, so we put a premium on busy work and busy-ness. But human beings need time for reflection, because that is how we develop good judgment, and that is how we learn to live with ourselves.

There’s a story about an American traveling in Africa. He hires a guide to lead him through the jungle to a remote village. In the afternoon the guide stops to set up camp for the night. The American impatiently inquires why they aren’t taking advantage of the remaining daylight to travel farther. 'We have traveled very fast and must allow time for our souls to catch up with our bodies' says the guide.

As one to join the crowd of recently-engaged and loosing-their-mind-plowing-through-hundreds-of-vendor-research ...I've grown more and more appreciative of people like Abby Larson who host blog-meccas of information and inspiration. Hers is certainly for the style-conscious crowd looking for ideas and vendors. Check it out here.

I was super honored to be selected as one of her three photographers to recommend in her Little Black Book here in Atlanta... and now I'm able to REALLY appreciate first-hand what she does for future-brides like me :)

She recently featured Alecia and Nick's fabulous floral details from their Seaside, FL destination wedding last spring. Check out how cute their pup is all dressed up in formal attire!!
