Pining/Pinning

I am a Pinterest freak. I can lose an hour pouring through the goodies on my feed. Recipes are my top finds--it's like a free, continuously growing cook book where all the recipes have photos. Drool...

I pin fashion, pictures of a future I dream of, work out and time saving tips. I also love collecting quotes on my boards Words to Work By, Words to Live By and Exactly. What is that feeling you get, that space that is filled with warmth when you find words that mirror what you believe in your heart? It's like calorie-free ice cream on the tongue, plus the moment your love takes hold of your hand while you are cozy warm under a fluffy, soft blanket. Or something like that.

Here's what has my heart singing these days.

Just because it's not how you would say it, don't toss it away. Everyone has their own way to say I love you.

I need to carry this rock in my pocket.

Oh do I know the truth of this one. 

I think this is true, even when you are in love. Perhaps even more so because you don't stop growing your heart just because someone has put their warm hands on it.

This is my theory on negotiation as a method of conflict resolution. I love that something even more beautiful can come out of strong opposition + stronger will to find a solution.

I am always torn between wanting to sing my heart out and shutting up so I can listen to something important that clearly can't wait 2.5 minutes when the song is over.

My number one rule to live by.

I still think the "Talk To Me" is one of the hottest 3-word commands I've ever received.

I love this perspective. It makes me laugh. But if it also makes me nervous because I am a terrible dancer, am I missing the point entirely?

I put hours into Pinterest with the hope that one day I will find the recipe for these exact cookies. Although my boyfriend did try to propose to me with a corn chip ring once so maybe I am looking for the wrong culinary project.
