One thing I learned at Blissdom that really resonated with me is to strive to provide my readers with something meaningful, and something I feel genuinely passionate about. Friends, I can say without any hesitation that the singular thing I care about accomplishing through Positively Splendid is to tell you all this:

It is possible for all of us to make something extraordinary out of a seemingly ordinary life.

 In the midst of car pools and diaper changes, doing laundry and doing dishes, dealing with commutes that make us want to pull our hair out, or trying to meet seemingly impossible deadlines day in and day out, it can often be so hard to wrap our minds around how crucial it is to stop and process the poignant beauty of everyday life. Today I curse those little shoes that I always seem to trip over in our entryway, because we don’t have a mudroom.

But in 5, 15, 50 years? Those same shoes will be something I pull from a forgotten box in an attic corner, and they will be magical.

 I will remember teaching Jack to ties those laces.
Reminding Charlotte that her shoes are (once again) on the wrong feet.
Holding sweet Cecily’s hand as she uses those shoe-clad feet to toddle alongside me.

And, you know what? I will yearn – ache – for just one more sweet day of experiencing life as it is right this instant. For every detail of it. Even the shoes piled up in front of the door.

 Friends, I want this blog to be a place where you come and are inspired to make something beautiful, even out of the most ordinary of ingredients.

I want this to be a place where you leave feeling inspired to try something new, and encouraged at the thought that I truly believe in your ability to succeed!
