lindsay gave me this cheat sheet to take with me. i found it crumpled up in my wallet the other day. it's just too pretty to throw away.

i first bought this perfume when i had a childish fixation with the color pink. little did i know, i would end up sticking with it all these years. i think it might even be my signature scent. although at first it may seem a little too pink lemonadeish, it softens into a yummy rose and grapefruit scent that is really light. when compared to the stereotypical sickeningly sweet cotton-candy and vanilla varieties, so pink is a masterpiece. i've yet to find a fragrance that is just as feminine and non-irritating as this one. lately i've even started using it as air freshener.

stepping heavenward by elizabeth prentiss is one of my most favorite books. it is written in diary form and recounts the trials young katherine mortimer encounters as she endeavors to become a godly woman. i've read it 3 or 4 times now, and each time i benefit from reading it because i find myself understanding katherine more and more. the problems depicted in this story are devastatingly easy to relate to. reading about katherine's failures at "being good" and her open displays of a stubborn, sinful nature challenges the reader to reckon with their own sin issues. an excellent instrument for examining your life and enriching your spiritual walk.

here i am and here i go, off to blogging.
