Every day is an adventure. I share the view, the gratitude and the news  on Fridays – you’re invited to join in. You can find all my adventures here, or follow along via email here.

The view

I am so grateful for…

• A lovely weekend with my family, exploring Nashville
• The Moves app, it's totally changing my days
• Clarity of purpose. Is there anything better than knowing that you're doing what you should be doing?
• The patience of Jay, Mom, and my friends while I freak out over what I'll wear (and how I'll do my hair) for my CreativeLIVE class. It's so obviously the least important aspect, and yet the one I talk about the most often.

The Finds:

I’m reading:

• Diane's inside-look at what it's like to write (and edit!) a craft book with a traditional publisher.
• How Elise uses Instagram in her business. Her podcast on social media is great too!
• Randomly Happy's amazingly easy How to Sew a Dress series. I think I'm going to try it!!

I’m eating:
(I share my favorite meals as they happen, on Instagram. Since there's always at least one person who wants the recipe…here they are!)

• An amazing burrito: Ancho Lentils + rice (made with El Pato) + fresh greens, salsa, and Tofutti sour cream.
• Basil pesto over gnocchi with (vegan) Italian sausage. YAY BASIL.
• Everyday Pad Thai.
• While in Nashville, we had coffee at the so-hipster Barista Parlor and lunch at the (all vegan) Wild Cow.

In case you missed it: 

• I had a great conversation with Mei, of Tiny Hands, about how she got her work on a popular TV show (and in many magazines and blogs!)
• Next week I'm sharing a much-requested (free!) mini-course on How to Say No. Get the whole thing in a handy PDF (with worksheets!) here.

What adventures have you had?

PS. The beautiful embroidery of birds, above, was made by my great-grandma. You can see the whole thing in the header of my mom's shop here. (Did you know you can get wool from her sheep?)
