Delightful Links for the Weekend

My mother has been visiting (she lives in Australia) for about 6 weeks. This past few days we have enjoyed some of the gorgeous scenery California has to offer.

These pictures were taken near Big Sur, CA; an breathtaking part of the country.

One of my goals this year is to spend more time outside. This was certainly a good place to do that.

I’m still enjoying some inspiring new-yearish type posts online this week. Here are some of my favorites:

Favorite quote of the week:

“Owning your role as a mother will shape not only your child but also future generations to come.

Your labor of love has far-reaching consequences.

And as your build another’s soul, you will find that you are building your own soul as well.”

-Sally Clarkson (from the new book, Own Your Life).
