Meet the Magnolias

I always love posts from bloggers about what I've missed during the week or a list of things I need to check out. So....you guessed it! I'm making a list of things you need to check out this weekend! 1. My husband, Jordan, sent me a link to this artist the other day because he thought I may like her. Then my hair girl/same heart sister, Cassie, also posted about how amazing she is. So yes. Run, listen now! Julien Baker is hauntingly talented. You can listen on SoundCloud and/or buy her album here ! 2. Adele made us wait for her new music. The new single and video dropped this morning! My summary? WORTH. THE. WAIT.  3. Justin Bieber, whom you already know I adore, released his new song Sorry on Thursday. Just bought it on iTunes and am prepared to dance all weekend! 4. I spilled my guts about community and friendship. I'm thankful for the feedback I've gotten so far!! Would love for you to read that here . 5. I love when the sky looks lik

I've felt so disconnected from this space and writing here. I think it's because I've had something in my drafts since November, and I know I have to write it out. I procrastinate hard things. Especially delicate, true-to-my-heart things. Sigh. It's not comfortable or sparkly or exciting. BUT. It is important, and now is the time. I don't know how to start this, honestly.

I've been spending time (11 months now) really thinking about community. What it looks like. What it means to me and in my life.

                          October is here. As with every.single.blog.post.EVER, I'm starting it out by gasping at how fast the days, weeks, months, and years fly right by! It's definitely because I'm an adult. Remember when, as a kid, summer days and weeks stretched on and on? These days, now, zoom past faster than I can even keep track of. Alas, here I am. Blogging.  Also, in the spirit of being repetitive, the older I get, the more I love and crave fall. A.k.a. the less time I spend at or in the pool, the faster I want to be able to wear sweaters and boots. And just like every girl with a social network, I quite enjoy a PSL! I was reminded via TimeHop that I did #write31days two years ago. I tried to blog every single day of October. I think I made it having only missed two or so posts. I can't commit this year. Again. Because I'm unprepared. Hah. My friend Kasia is doing it though, so be sure to follow her over at www.kasiaskitchen.com! (Thanks Blogger app for no
