Hello dears! How was your Weekend?? Did you relax or was it busy? Mine was both but I have been thinking alot about how busy I am and how I tend to live with the pressure I put on myself to do it all. Do you do that? Do you secretly want to be a Superhero? Its so hard for me to be honest and share with you how things are really going in my life. You see I am a perfectionist and am pretty hard on myself. (as I think most women are) and I tend to tell myself that I need to have it all together for you here tied up in a pretty package. So as I pondered these things I came across a truly lovely blog written by someone who shares her heart and soul, her real life story along with her passion for gorgeous design in a beautiful blog called, Lovelie. Meet Ellie, a 20 year mother who is currently in school for graphic design and loves to design, craft and create with a zest for life. (Find more of her work at her Etsy shop). Her images are stunning and the blog is a true work of art, but it is her honesty, her raw energy, no apologies attitude that you will find once you dig a little deeper that I admire and hope to aspire to. So, thank you Ellie for giving me the courage to live life to the fullest without shame and with courage to reveal my true self.

I love your featured blog! Thanks for sharing, and for reminding us all to live and write with a little more "gusto!" :-)

Wow, I don't know what to say :') Thank you so much. I feel so honored and...and I don't even know what the word is haha! You have truly touched me :) I'm so glad I (as small as I feel I am in this great big world) could be an inspiration to somebody. You have made my day - no my week! Thanks again Heather! :)
<3 Ellie
