Respite for the soul

http://www.morninglavendercafe.com

There is something healing about pretty things and words. The comingling of art and language produces a world of dreamy possibilities. I believe that each can absolutely stand on their own, but the downright deliciousness of the pairing opens portals to our heart. “A picture is worth a thousand words” advertising executive Fred R. Barnard said. The idea is that a solitary photo can convey more meaning than a gathering of words. While I do not disagree, the writer in me leans heavily into expressing myself through the powerful flow of thoughts written down. The adventurer in me swoons over gorgeous photos. I feel no need to choose, or should I say I am selecting to use both. My blog is my unfolding journey, a story that I am sharing as I make my way about the earth. My intention is to share simple joys and extraordinary moments that are birthed through grief and gratitude.

You are welcome in this space!

Jodi

    Beautiful 🀩
    So ready to board the Journey Train.
    I have great expectations about Jodi’s Joy already. I see love, life and experiences ahead. Splendor and depth of truth.
    A place to just be. So yeah!
    I am excited.πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
    Sometimes your blogs have stretched us to another place. Sometimes your blogs have made us face ourselves and what we need to change or even go and do.
    You have a way of getting us out of our heads and making a reality of the dream inside.
    You always leave a path as you pass by for others to walk on.
    Thank you .
