Beautiful Things Trailer
There are places and seasons in life that require intentional searching
to discover beautiful things. Sometimes
when a person must hunt,
the treasure is
all the more beautifully meaningful because of the hunt.
Sometimes
the miracle is that
the sacred and beautiful have been right in our midst the entire time...
This is an online class
that won't keep you indoors
glued to you screen,
but will take you outside
this summer
to explore the beautiful things
in your humble space...
{Another} Beautiful Things Trailer
This online creative living class
will be all about
treasure hunting,
opening the eyes of the heart,
and growing faith
through challenging seasons.
We will be creating simple keepsakes reminding us
that there is a time and purpose
for all things.
Each person will
seek out
a special keepsake box
from home,
perhaps a flea market, yard sale, junk fair, or antique shop,
to fill with
beautiful things
from your
life's humble place
Perhaps these
are the greatest lessons
the prairie has taught me:
to see, really see,
the beauty in humble places.
It has taught me to be a seeker,
to let my breath be taken away
by everyday miracles,
to savor small moments
of joyful silence,
to let my roots grow deep
and be nourished...
​
These are things I hope to share
with you.
To be a seeker of
sacred beauty
in your
everyday, ordinary life
and fill your heart with
gratitude.
Maybe you don't
have prairie flowers,
but you have
spruce trees
and
pine cones
or sea glass
and driftwood
or
unique architecture,
brick patterns,
and city lights
to savor.
​
Wherever you are
we will create a perspective of abundance
by
celebrating these:

For our projects,
I will share printable collage sheets in the class as well as quotes like this one from Laura Ingalls Wilder,
"The real things haven't changed.
It is still best to be honest and truthful;
to be happy
with simple pleasures;
and have courage
when things go wrong."
