build your beautiful self

The beauty of nature that is displayed here in my beautiful city always impresses me. I am like a 5 year old learning all about this world that we live in! I love the way shapes blend together, colors compliment one another and watching the living creatures interact in a huge circle of life.

All too often we get caught up in the routine of life. The habits we created over our lifetime are in full force daily. I was here. I pushed from sun up to sun down and when I did take time off from the grind, I felt bad. I felt like I should have been working. I never took time to slow down, bond with nature and just appreciate it being a part of my existence.

My happy spot in my home town was the conservatory. If you have been following me for a while, you will see posts about it and photos of it. I went there to feel grounded and at peace. It was also great for winter blues because the interior is like a tropical paradise even in below zero outdoor temps. I am so fortunate now that I can walk outside st any point and see beauty and feel warmth and know that at any point when I am down I just need to take a step outdoors and remember what it is like to appreciate the small things, like the beauty of maple leaves so perfectly formed or the unique texture combo of cactus and sheet metal. We live in an amazing place.
