showin' off.

i feel a need to show off my best friend's little brother. he also happens to be a dude that i find super cool, too. i've spoken about him on here before. pretty cute, huh? now you see him on this video for his band, hot chelle rae. oh! so you've heard this song before, eh?... "tonight tonight"... i bet you have! because it's totally blowing up all over. i love that. so proud of him! and i heard from ian that they are about to start recording their second album and will begin touring {"like mad"} this summer. so {fan-girls} get excited...

xx.

where there is love, there is art. 

all things new.

‎"the way i deal with anything that's negative is to surrender. you have to let things go, have compassion, and recognize your blessings. as long as you're living your truth, you're going to be OK."

so that was my easter weekend. 

how was yours? easter is a pretty cool holiday, huh?

i've posted the quote above {that i found in this month's InStyle magazine}, spoken by my one-and-only kate hudson, most everywhere. i love it. and i pray i live it. as for the photos-- taken easter sunday at my parent's home. the first photo is of my beautiful baby brother {and if you think "beautiful" is a feminine word... then you need to chill}. the second is of my stunning mother. i'm very proud of my family. it's true.

date night.

this lovely chickadee that i know, celeste, just released this new little diddy and video. isn't it magical? check out the new free download too. the full length will be released july 12th. tell all of your homies!

where there is love, there is art.

oh my, my.

i'm really proud of these folks from the great book of john, particularly the prettiest member (ms. bekah fox).

i literally watched this video and started tearing up. powerful stuff, y'all. check them out. they've got lots of good stuff going on right now {and always}, including a great vinyl {and digital} record "communicating vessels."  and if you just can't get enough you can hear them on the local oh brother radio show from this past week.
i have a feeling this is only the beginning. you will be seeing much, much more from these talented folks. serious TGBOJ explosion is 'bout to happen. i can feel it...

24.

i don't typical give "personal updates" via the blog. it feels a bit narcissistic? but since i've been quite absent lately {teacher duty is not conducive to blogging} an update might be appropriate.

1.) two of my most dear friends from growing up got engaged. how rare it is to have TWO friends get engaged to one another, ya know? it's usually that i'm friends with the bride... but this time it's double love! here's to the future fisher's! cheers!

2.) i turned 24. the family pre-gamed the birthday with dinner at cocina.

3.) my angel, alison krauss, released a new album.

4.) the dearest folks in the world celebrated the twenty-fourth year at my rojo.

i'm feeling pretty good about twenty-four. pure magic. what'd you say?
