Today.

It's two weeks until my birthday.

It is unbelievable how fast time flies.

But if there's one thing I learned this year, is to endure.

Life will not cease to get any easier... 

But no matter what, it's important to find the strength within yourself (and only yourself) and persevere.

And one of the greatest blessings this year has been in finding the absolute joy and delight in continuously inspiring yourself through your own form of expression. 

It sounds so cheesy, I know.

But my goodness it has saved me. 

Today, my wish was I had enough time for a thoughtful breakfast without a time frame with you.

I miss our breakfasts. 

This week has undeniably taught me that growth is essential in every facet of your life.

The key to success is the ability to adapt to changes.

That, and as my dad, the man who fills my heart with love and inspiration, always says...

Because like they say...

Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor.

Persevere.

Figuring it out.

Green.

Hands.

Persist.

 

Life is not designed to get any easier, I'm convinced at this point.

But with the challenges and all the uphill climbs ahead, I am sure that the moments of weakness are there to challenge us to really dust ourselves off and try again.

This is in every avenue of life.

Work.

Family.

Friends.

Love.

You try and try again.

-Jessica-   

Relationships.

Thank you.

Hope.

Change.

Truth.

Appreciation.

Never Stop.

To my friends and family who ceaselessly work towards NEWness.

This is for you.

And me.

-Jessica-

Tick tock.

Noted.

Make time for your passions.

Thanks Annabelle.

Favors.

No problem.

Life's too short to live a lie.

Speak the truth.

Be yourself.

It's just not worth it any other way.

My Wish.

I hope that the days come easy 

and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,

And if you're faced with a choice,
and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside,
show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything,
more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big,
and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
This is my wish.

I hope you never look back,
but you never forget,
All the ones who love you,
in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive,
and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything,
and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big,
and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big 

 

 

Love,

Jessica

Art.

Chinese artist Liu Bolin created these shots where he camouflages with the background.
It takes up to 10 hours per shot.

Wowza.

-Jessica-

Agree.

Crave.

So far today there has been rain, wind, sunshine and snow.

It's cold outside.

And all I want to do is to climb into my oversized sweats, plop on my couch and nibble on some chocolate.

Care to join me?

Issues.

Always.

It's quite a problem in my life.

Yes.

Passion.

Future.

FRANKUPDATES

Jokes.

I'm just sayin.

Time.

Easy.

Sacrifice.

People.

Thanks Annabelle.

Different.

Humans by nature are creatures of habit.

From the way we brush our teeth, to the way we maneuver ourselves through relationships.

The hard part isn't starting over.

It's going about it differently.

Therein lies the challenge. 

But one thing's for sure.

It's definitely a mental and emotional battle, but I know you're right there with me.

Who knows what the future holds.

But for now, the present looks mighty good with you here.

So...

Let's just work on today.

I'll be missing you from here.

 Be good from there.

I'll be home in a jiffy.
