It is something to be able to paint a particular picture,
or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful;
but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very
atmosphere and medium through which we look.
To affect the quality of the day: that is the highest of arts.
(Henry David Thoreau)
There are so many ways to invoke creativity and inspire brilliance in your day to day life. If you look closely, there is magic and beauty everywhere.
Seek to find a remarkable, yet completely ordinary, moment each day and I promise that you will make astounding discoveries.

I picked up Women, Food & God on your recommendation and can’t put it down! It’s a very interesting concept. I must admit I’d never considered food from that perspective, but it’s quite compelling. Hope you’re having a good weekend. xo
