your daily rock : celebrate with wild abandon!
If you look for them, there are things to celebrate wildly every single day. In our house, we sometimes run out of vital supplies like toilet paper, light bulbs, and Häagen Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream, but 365 days a year you can be sure of finding a rather …
your daily rock : do it now
Is there something you’ve been putting off, waiting for the perfect time? That time is now. There is no other time. We are assured no other moment. Just this one. Do it now. Love, (These beautifully painted rocks are created by Kim Mailhot, aka The Rock Fairy.
