 Always a part of my Ahhha moments….

Let me tell you a little something about myself.

For some reason, I have eyes that want to see everything in fairy-tale vision.

I imagine that my house should be tidy and beautiful all the time. It should be super cute and styled just right for that imaginary magazine cover in my mind. I have a disease I mention from time to time called magazine cover-it is. But in spite of that terrible sickness, my life rarely looks like the cover of a decorating magazine. Corners of it might appear that way sometimes, until you turn around and see what was behind the camera.

Most of the time, my home is a happy collision of chaos.

While my mind might picture a perfectly coordinated and styled magazine cover life, my real life reflects more of what I’d call “the lived in look.”

Whether it is the unexpected emergencies that throw our life for a loop or the chaotic beauty we invite in to turn our house upside down, our home usually feels slightly bent, occasionally stained, somewhat disorganized — yet we are blessed by all the chaos …  life, friends, family, connections and living our God-given dreams. The chaos means we are living a full and meaningful life.

Embracing of our real life is where true beauty is found.

Tell me about your real life.

Can you see the beauty and blessings in your “lived in” look?
