Beauty & Blessings: This Week in Wonder & Awe(some)

Hey there Beautiful Soul,

Happy Weekend! Four words: Does. It. Spark. Joy.?

World-renowned organization guru Marie Kondo asks this question to her clients when she helps them organize their spaces (home, office, both). Does it spark joy? This simple question has been on my mind for the past couple of weeks and it is my hope that every week, Beauty & Blessings sparks joy in your life.

May you and I be present to the people/experience/things that spark joy in our own lives. May we also be present to the opportunities to spark joy in the lives of those around us.

Agents of joy.

Do you dare?

Derek Rabelo may be blind, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he can see better than the rest of us…

I love, Love, LOVE pineapples and visiting the Dole Plantation was one of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii a couple of years back. Let’s just say, I was highly intrigued when I came across this article “17 Mind Boggling Facts about Pineapple“…
