my mom is the cutest.

last week my mom came up for lunch.

we had delicious sushi and went shopping

and chatted about life.

my mom gives the best advice ever

and always provides me with rational insight about things going on in my life.

last week i got a card in the mail thanking me for having her for lunch.

even though she's the one who drove 1.5 hours to see me for just 2 hours.

once again, she's the best.

the card was especially poignant for me at this point in my life.

the front reads:

peace.

it does not mean to be in a place

where there is no noise, trouble

or hard work. it means to be in

the midst of those things and still

be calm in your heart.

-unknown

such powerful words.

rarely am i in a place where nothing is going wrong,

but that doesn't mean i can't be happy.

i love my mom.

thank you so much for coming up last week!

i love you.

ps shout out to my very best friend on earth MORGAN who just started her own blog and is now reading mine :)
