family shoot ~ tami and her girls

Aren't these ladies just gorgeous? I can't get over their beauty, inside and out. I, being the lucky girl that I am, was able to spend an hour with them on a shoot by an old barn and farmhouse. Click here to see more from that day.

Poetry to Live By

"Take Something Like a Star"

O Star (the fairest one in sight)
We grant your loftiness the right
To some obscurity of cloud--
It will not do to say of night,
Since dark is what brings out your light.

Some mystery becomes the proud.
But to be wholly taciturn
In your reserve is not allowed.
Say something to us that we can learn
By heart and when alone repeat.

Say something! And it says "I burn."
But say with what degree of heat.
Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.

Use language we can comprehend.
Tell us what elements you blend.
It gives us strangely little aid
But does tell something in the end.

And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height.

So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may take something like a star
To stay our minds on and be staid.

--Robert Frost

Quotables

If I don't seem to need help, it is because I have a better friend, even than Father, to comfort and sustain me. My child, the troubles and temptations of your life are beginning and may be many, but you can overcome and outlive them all if you learn to feel the strength and tenderness of your Heavenly Father as you do that of your earthly one. The more you love and trust Him, the nearer you will feel to Him, and the less you will depend on human power and wisdom. His love and care never tire or change, can never be taken from you, but may be the source of lifelong peace, happiness, and strength. Believe this heartily, and go to God with all your little cares, and hopes, and sins, and sorrows, as freely and confidingly as you come to your mother.

--Louisa May Alcott from Little Women
