I believe in beauty. I believe it is everywhere. I believe it is powerful, healing and available to us at any moment, if we pause to discover it or create it.

Since my son went blind, I realized beauty isn’t just pretty. He experiences beauty constantly, and he helped me realize that beauty exists in dimensions far beyond vision. There is an immersive, experiential quality of beauty that I hope to capture here.

May you discover some beautiful inspiration (and a smile)! XO, L

Seeing Green

Seeing Green

There's a slight chill in the air that reminds me that winter is around the corner, so I took my four year old son to get some warmer clothes. He picked out and "approved" a single item: a vibrant, kelly green, quilted vest. He could barely wait to take the tag off before tossing it over his vintage Star Wars baseball tee. The color is bright, happy, and even stood out to my little guy. From olive to spring to mint, now, I'm seeing green too! XO, L
