Today’s the day, kids. The new Mumford & Sons was released. Very considerate of them to put it out on a music monday, yeah? Stylistically it’s not much of a departure from Sigh No More. The arrangements/instrumentation are a little bit richer, but it feels very much like a continuation of their last album. And […]

In general, I’m fairly skeptical of beauty products that make grandiose promises. Creams that say they will get rid of scars or anti-frizz shampoo never work like they say they will. But I have to say I really misjudged OPI’s nail envy. I’ve been using it on my nails as a basecoat for the past […]
Better things come to those who wait
Oh hai! Just dropping by today because I miss you, internet. Here is a quick update: We have a couch! It is beautiful. We are going to be so happy together. I will be spending a lot of time here in the coming years. Also I bet my Community group will be happy they don’t […]
The Words of the Revelator
I’ve been streaming this Bryan John Appleby album a lot at work the past week. It’s super mellow, which I find helps me concentrate when things are so busy like they have been lately. Apparently he played at Bumbershoot a few weeks ago and I missed it. Drat. There is so much good music being […]
Purple haze all in my brain
This is as close to nail art as I get. Tami calls these my “fall transitional nails”. Purple: RGB Cosmetics Haze | Blue: American Apparel Passport Blue This RGB Cosmetics nailpolish is my ultimate favorite polish of all time. The bottle and brush are so well designed and it’s the easiest to apply of any […]
Tuesday Top Ten
One “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.” Happy Tuesday everyone. It’s the first day of school today. I […]
Through the shadowlands and forgotten paths, you will find a road
Oh hi. I took a week off. But I’m back! For now. Last night I went to see Josh Garrels at the Rio Theatre on Commercial Drive. It was a little strange to go and see a show in what is essentially a movie theatre, but the sound was surprisingly good and they managed to […]
Tuesday Top Ten
One It’s my birthday this week. Twenty-seven was a hard year for me and I’m not sorry to see it go. But (and that’s a big butt, as my 90-year-old pastor used to say) I learned a lot about God’s character and myself this year. Huge life lessons that came with a whole lot of […]
Go on, scream it from the mountains
This week’s Music Monday comes from my friend and fellow worship-musician-girl, Tiffany who first told me about The Digital Age. Tiff is one of my favorite people because we share very similar giftings and both have the same heart for worship. It’s awesome to have a friend who is super passionate about the same things […]
It is a lovely oddity of human nature that a person is more inclined to interrupt two people in conversation than one person alone with a book.
Last summer I heard a few people raving about, The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. The description caught my interest so I put it in my list of books to read in my phone and promptly forgot about it until a few weeks ago when I was wandering through Chapters on my lunch break. […]
