Of course you will!
Because this lovely, lovely piece is the perfect antidote to grey January days.

INSPIRATION :: I Like Adoption (Video)
via I Like Adoption
Perspective. This video brings so.much.perspective. (It also brings tears, but happy ones — the kind redemption is made of.)
INSPIRATION :: Happado, Japanese Textile Artist
INSPIRATION :: Plümo
Oh dear, I’ve found a new catalogue to drool over admire in the new year: Plümo! It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m very late to the game and you all have known about it for ages.
Looking to the New Year

She wakes up with rosy cheeks and tousled hair, and a heart full of fresh expectation. Everything is exciting again. Everything is possible.
New mercies, oh, that’s not just a theory to her. It’s not just a nebulous concept. Mercy washes over her — over all of us! — every single morning, and she lives this, through and through.
Let’s be like her.
Let’s have childlike hearts.
And let’s walk into the morning of this New Year joyously, our hearts bursting with hope.
