Just because. Life is that crazy.

Between opening two new stores ( pictures soon!) within two weeks of each other, staffing, training, attempting to get ready for Christmas family arrival, onslaught of holiday cheer, resulting panic attacks, serial killer shopping tactics *evil shrug*, attempting to stay in touch with everyone( and failing miserably * shuddering sigh*), and now finding myself staring in the face of very realistic frustration of plans to leave for school (after months of prayer and working through logistics) every careful ounce of life has been measured by each exacting day.  These  moments have taught me just how much I am alive... My lesson has been to understand how much life there is to live and to know that it is not my way which is higher but His. To comprehend His right to direct is beautiful however difficult surrender is.  Meekness is power under control. 

Realization of just how many beautiful people fill my life..and extreme wonder at being invited to look inside and discover what lies there..having the opportunity to be a part if only for a moment..this has made it possible to remain driven and brings a smile in the most unexpected moments.

"..does that make me crazy?"
