Portland, Oregon.

This week I am inspired by the Sparkle & Shine Floribunda Rose to sparkle and shine, rain or shine.

Waiting for my resume to be perfect to send it out. Waiting for the website to be perfect to go live. Waiting for a new job to come through before I hang out with my friends. Waiting for the perfect spark before I create something, anything.

Releasing tension and control, I let go of expectations. Celebrating uniqueness and fullness of life -

Sparkle and Shine!
