Hope is holding on
to yourself when there’s nothing
left to hold onto.
from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
My father just didn’t accept the idea of my being an actor. I think that’s the reason he kept the hardware store in operation, because I think he was pretty sure that I was going to be found out sooner or later, and he wanted to have a job for me to come back to.
- Jimmy Stewart, 1908 - 1997
from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
Even though people may be well known, they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth, marriage and death.
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, 1929 - 1994

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the beautiful and amazing women I am so blessed to know as Mother’s in my life. You inspire me, challenge me and make me a better version of me, just by being the exact versions of you, you cannot help but be.
You
who breathed life into a hollow place
and stood tall and proud
as it was filled and stretched
with the sound of a new heartbeat.
Who held the hands that swam
inside you and watched the first
of many cords be cut but smirked
at the realization that some
between you and those you carried
will never be severed.
You
who frosted the cakes and stirred the
oats and blew on the spoons when
too much heat swirled upon them.
Who told the stories and read the books
and filled in the details with the voices
and sounds of magic and mystery;
who put herself last, always last so
so many others could understand the way
it feels to be first. Who grew tears in
her eyes but never let them fall.
You
who sang the alphabet and packed the lunch
and killed the spiders and fastened the
seatbelts and washed the dishes and folded
mountains of laundry without ever bothering
to plant her flag at the top to show the world
the effort it takes to survive a day.
Who kissed the scrapes and healed the aches
and always knew what color popsicle would
soothe a throbbing throat the fastest.
You.
The mother, the strongest, most vibrant, and
perfectly beautiful mother, thank you.
Thank you.

I love Montana because the only thing bigger than the mountains is the sky and the only thing bigger than the sky is the character of the people that find themselves living here. If you haven’t yet, come visit. Truly.

The Peabody Stack Room of the George Peabody Library, Baltimore, Maryland. The George Peabody Library, formerly the Library of the Peabody Institute of the City of Baltimore, dates from the founding of the Peabody Institute in 1857. It contains more than 300,000 titles—most of which date from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Renowned for its striking architectural interior, the Peabody Stack Room contains five tiers of ornamental cast-iron balconies, which rise dramatically to the skylight 61 feet above the floor.
In addition to its traditional use as a research library, it is available as an event space. The library accommodates wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, private dinners, holiday parties and lectures. (via Lisa Pisa)
So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.
