“You can’t learn to paint without painting” -David McCullough - Too often we get in our own way, we want to be good before we’ve ever started, and it’s a notion that I think is less born out of fear as much as it is embarrassment. There is a self-awareness and inward criticism that tells us we should work in the dark as to not expose our art (whatever that might be) to the judgement of the world, because to look at all that others have done, how could we possibly compete? But the goal isn’t competition… It’s just being better. The quote above is from the 2008 documentary “Painting With Words”, and it has lingered in my head as I contemplate where @paigewilhog and I are heading in life. As a guide school instructor/musician/personal trainer, I understand that time, consistency, and practice are the only ways to hone a craft, yet with so many other creative outlets I’ve stopped before I ever started… doubt creeps in… my writing and my photos slide into the dark realm of avoidance and excuse. On a positive note, our staycation was a bit of a jumpstart, a surprise revival of creativity and inspiration, and with it has come a rejuvenated feeling of accomplishment that moves beyond the critical inward reflection. - #littlestoriesofmylife #seekthesimplicity #handsinframe #hands #liveauthentic #createexplore #passionpassport #moodygrams #agameoftones #morning #morningvibes #morninginspiration #instadaily #fujifeed #fujifilm #myfujifilm #myfujilove #fujifilmxt4 #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #darlingmovement https://www.instagram.com/p/CisBbqbut84/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Most of you probably don’t know about that time @paigewilhog and I applied for a photography grant to present a travel project through the juxtaposition of her photos and mine; an exploration of one trip through two very different sets of eyes… - I thought of that grant and our proposal as I looked through my photos from our recent @snoozeameatery shoot, focused this time primarily on the behind-the-scenes type elements and embracing the grainy #35mm vibes that seem to be taking over my explore feed... it’s crazy, all that’s happened in that time, and how far we’ve come. - 📷 : @fujifilmx_us XT-4 - - - #handsinframe #littlestoriesofmylife #seekthesimplicity #feedfeed #breakfast #eeeeeats #bonappetit #buzzfeast #foodporn #foodphotography #foodstagram #eatingfortheinsta #instafood #yum #tasty #delish #f52grams #lifeandthyme #foodlover #foodgram #onthetable #tastingtable #justgoshoot #fujifeed (at Snooze, an A.M.

The best way I can explain it is that it came from a “pasta counter” and @paigewilhog was absolutely pumped that she would have the opportunity to introduce me to this handheld bowl of heaven. For a couple euro, and a desperate search for shade, this pasta was by far one of the culinary highlights from our Italy trip. The fact that this quick bite combined affordability and flavor the way it did completely blew my mind, and then I wonder where these places are here at home… why isn’t this kind of access to such quality food the norm? - - - #pasta #feedfeed #handsinframe #foodie #foodphotography #foodporn #eeeeeats #munchies #foodpics #foodblogger #travelblogger #travelstoke #travelawesome #eatwell #tastingtable #buzzfeedfood #saveur #bonappetit #cntraveler #traveldeeper #tlpicks #travelgram #foodlover (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU1ElresGmW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hopia (from hokkien derivation of good pastry 好饼） is one of the most successful Tsinoy-influenced food product. It is said to have been brought to the Philippines by Fujian immigrants. It has been our favorite snack since childhood bec. of its convenience as a grab-and-go & easily storageable snack. While there are famous brands that are even exported, we also have artisan home-made versions like @hopialikeitph As w/ its name, its hopia are fresh & innovative. It offers a savory, flaky, soft & chewy pastry w/ 6 fillings to choose from: Ube, Ube Pastillas, Monggo, Baboy, Choco & Choco Pastillas. (swipe to see the fillings). All flavors are not too sweet & preservatives-free. A box of 12 is priced at 150 php. 这''好饼'是福建移民带到菲律宾的。 #tsinoyfoodies #hopialikeit #hopia #handsinframe (at Quezon City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQFIoeh3oA/?utm_medium=tumblr

They say breakfast is the most important meal, but the older I get sometimes I wonder if it’s actually breakfast they’re talking about or the coffee that comes with it ☕️ - - - #coffee #breakfast #handsinframe #onthetable #feedfeed #roomservice #hotellife #hotel #tastingtable #tlpicks #bareaders #bonappetit #foodstyling #foodporn #foodphotography #food #travelgram #eeeeeats #eater #vscofood #travelawesome #coffeetime #coffeelover #foodgawker #f52grams #food52 #foodgram #foodpics (at Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWK6VMJpsY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Summer really has come and with the beginning of July a heatwave had come. We have had almost 30°C today and the next few days aren't going to be any colder. I did several loads of laundry that all dried so quickly and maybe Tord and I will go for a swim this evening. It has been so beautiful in my greenhouse, everything keeps growing and thriving and I am so happy about everything. Today was also the first day of my summer holiday and it started with the best of news: my education as speech therapist now finally is recognized in Sweden, which has been a long and hard road of communication with authorities, getting the right documents and waiting for their desicion. I am so happy and look forward to spending so much free time with Tord now, enjoying the beautiful summer weather ☀️🤍 #quietinthewild #nordicwildling #handsinframe #chasingseasons #slowsimpleseasonal #daysofsimpleandslow #momentsthatmattertome #cherishandrelish #thewildnesstonic #simplenaturefinds #allkindsofmagic #stopandsmelltheflowers #wildforflowers #joyspotting #daintygrams #flowersandotherstories #worldinbloom #deerly_tales #belazydaisy #ihavethisthingforflowers #excessivelydivertedbyflowers #realflowersoftheseason #seasonspoetry #mymomentwithflowers #inspiredbypetals #botanicalpickmeup #seasonalfloralfinds #flowersgivemepower #amomentofwonder #tostandandstare (på/i Graninge, Västernorrlands Län, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ1c5fErkvw/?utm_medium=tumblr
