On Tuesday | Creative Field Trip
Tags:
On Tuesday I embarked on a creative field trip to Portland to visit my friends Kelly Rae and Andrea.
On Tuesday I took my camera along as I usually do, filled with the possibility of images and captures that would say all that I wanted them to say and maybe even more.
On Tuesday I was lucky.
On Tuesday I took just two photos. This one sums it all up for me. I was there. I was at that table and saw and felt and laughed and smiled and listened and was filled up with the amazing abundance of friendship.
On Tuesday I received the gift of companionship, of a leisurely breakfast, of trying on two rounds of clothes at Anthropologie, of animated talk between good friends about life and marriage and kids and babies and sickness and photos and work and best laid plans and ideas and possibilities.
On Tuesday I felt light.

What a great day, good for the soul and spirit. I have been following Kelly Rae for a couple of years. Knowing you, I'm sure your gave her some soft spoken words about being a mother and learning how to "balance it all". Love your creative spirt. Enjoying my class with you Yesterday and Today. I listen to your advice and my first page is not like yours at all and I am learning to appreciate it and am tickled with my two page spread and my story.

At my dentist office today I came across a magazine that reminded me of you. The name of the magazine is called:
Seeing the Everyday
They have a website at seeingtheeveryday.com
Have you ever heard of it or seen the magazine?
