the heart of life.

I am oh-so grateful. Really – let me tell you all about it. 
Sometimes life hands you lemons, and these photos are from a time when life was handing me a few too many lemons for my liking. But the great thing about having a really cruddy time is that you find even more things to be grateful for. The things and people you take for granted suddenly make you realize that those lemons are really people passing over some glasses of lemonade – and giving you a little cheers in the process too. 
I’ve come to really realize that I have the best friends and family in the whole wide world – whether they’re people I’ve known for the past 15 years, or 3 months. When people see that you’ve got a stack of lemons piling up, people come out of the woodwork to put up a lemonade stand selling cups spiked with vodka. Now those are great friends, and the ones that you keep for years and years to come. If you’re one of those friends – I owe you a little piece of my soul, and I am oh-so grateful. You’re the best, and I only hope to be there for you too when you have a pile of lemons you’re not sure what to do with. 
Oh – and one of those pals happens to be Em who snapped these photos before I jetted off to Vancouver a few weeks back – she’s really the best.
