A Little Break

Th

Hello friends.  I have had a significant loss in my family and need to take a break from blogging this week.

My sweet 21 year old niece has passed away after a three and a half year long battle with cancer.  Our hearts are broken, our spirits shattered, and we need a bit of time to gather together and regroup.

We will emerge from these dark days full of inspiration from the magnificent example she provided us. 

May a divine light shine on you and grace your days as our beloved Camille did us.
