I just love the restfulness that is whispered so clearly from the simple things in life. Whether it's a walk through my garden, or meeting a friend for coffee, or a conversation at work, or sitting in an adjoining room and listening to my daughters laughing together. I just love it.
I met a friend yesterday for coffee and we talked for over two hours. She had worked behind me in the salon for 12 years and for 12 years I watched a gradual transformation happen in her that always inspired me. She asked me yesterday if I was aware that a year had passed since she had left our salon. It didn't seem possible. I'm glad she mentioned it though because it reminded me of something I had forgotten about. On her last day of working with us, I went home and sat at this computer and wrote a message for her with the intentions of giving it to her at the year anniversary of her departure. I had totally forgot about it. When I arrived back home yesterday I pulled up the document and sent it to her. It was just a simple message of what her friendship means to me and how I saw the Spirit at work in her and the freedom that was available for us all to walk in. It really was about continuing to simplify our lives and to slow down.
Her response back to me this morning made the simple act of writing that message a year ago seem seem pretty significant....turns out it actually was.
You just never know what can happen from such simple acts of love towards others.

I'm curious, brother...Did you make those stone flower pots? If so, how? I love them!!
Yes Matthew I did make them.
Instead of me explaining it check this out.

I use styrofoam coolers and nursery pots for forms and often instead of the plastic that is used to line the forms in the video I use burlap and it gies them a nice texture.
After you pull them out of the mold I lightly brush them with a wire brush to smooth them some and add more texture.
Hope this helps.
Hey Kent. Thanks so much for the video. It's hard to find good, natural looking pots without being expensive.
when you get the hang of it these look better (if you like natural looking pots) than anything you can buy and they are pretty inexpensive to make.
They really look like pots carved out of limestone.
Can I ask? Did you use a SLR camera to take these pictures? If so, what model? I am looking for a starter SLR. I love these pictures!
Bino, I have a professional digital camera. It is an Olympus E300 EVOLT 8 megapixel.
