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

Hey there Beautiful Soul,

With Christmas just one week away, this is officially my last Beauty & Blessings post for a while. Though there are lots (and I mean LOTS) of incredible treasures to be found, I will be taking some time off as Drew and I prepare to welcome our little one in January (possibly sooner if that is in the cards). Though you won’t find my weekly lootbag of love in your inbox for a while, I hope that it will not stop you from seeking out the Beauty & Blessings that are all around. And if you are so inclined, I welcome you to send me the treasures you find!

Until then, may this week’s round-up warm your soul, fire up your spirit, and remind you to look up:)

With lots of love,

Joann & Baby Lesiuczok

This is seriously one of my new favourite books!
I read a lot of books and every so often, I come across one that truly amazes me. I didn’t want to put this one down. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read a lot of great books but most recently, I read this one and it is one that I believe EVERY ONE should read at some point (hopefully sooner than later). It’s THAT good, THAT inspiring, THAT impactful. And it’s by someone you’ve probably never heard of before.
