supergirl

She's the girl in two worlds. Outside the glass, but wholeheartedly believing she's inside the tank. A three foot tall testament that it's okay to dream. To be mesmerized by where wish you were. She dreams of the day she'll be able to glide through the water and drift effortlessly with sea turtles. But she gets so lost in her desire to be there, that she doesn't realize she's holding her breath. I've been there. Holding my breath. Holding out. Holding off the everyday moments. But I loved what Tracey said yesterday when she suggested that being present today doesn't mean you can't be filled with dreams for tomorrow.

Sometimes we just need to remember to breathe.

*In celebration of Give-away May, and also the fact that the next shipment will be here any minute (YAY!), we're giving away an Epiphanie bag of your choice! Don't forget to check out the new Lola in black! Leave a comment today, and one lucky winner will be chosen by tomorrow! Good luck!

Love this picture: the light, the reflection of her face in the glass, the look of unadulterated belief in possibility, and the "S" underscoring it all. Supergirl, indeed.

This little girl reminds me of when i was little girl swimming in the pool thinking I was The Little Mermaid, Oh what fun times! but I still have big dreams for myself and my children! I always tell them they can do all things in Jesus Christ who strengthens them and they will !!! : )
