Say won't you Say

Authentic Beauty....It's not just a book :-)

Lately I have come to realize all of the many truly beautiful things and people around me. I've shared some amazing conversations with some of the women in my life here lately and I just cant explain the blessings that come from that. There are lots of pretty people, but to encounter true beauty and to see the beauty of the Lord reflected in and through your friends is so wonderfully refreshing. I've been very renewed and refreshed through not only friends, but through some new music i've recently discovered. I love when I find songs or Artists that completely verbalize the way i'm feeling at that moment or put situations into lyrics that are completely relatable. Tristan Prettyman, who Corrie introduced me to has a song called " Love Love Love" on her Cd Twentythree. The title sounds like something I would typically like, but the lyrics are so much more real and heartfelt than it sounds, anyway I just feel like every girl I know can relate to this woman's music. Also, my new personal favorite is the piano stylings of Rachael Yamagata. My beautiful friend Kim Hooper introduced me to her over christmas break and her music and lyrics bring out emotions that I didnt even know I had! Personally, her song "Letter Read" has completely paralled somethings Ive been going through lately. Her Cd is called Happenstance So good, if you are a female you will love these musicians promise!! Anyway, there has been and abundance of Beauty around my world lately, or maybe its always there and I am just in a vulerable place and my eyes have been opened to it now?! Either way, it's inspiring and makes me see the Lord's beauty even that much more. :-)
