Nothing is Permanent ...

Last week I traveled home to California, although the last minute trip was due to a sad event- my grandma's passing- the trip did include some very necessary family time and lovely moments with some of my closest friends. Instead of packing in a million things and going out, I did a lot of relaxing, thinking and sharing meals with loved ones... after just a few days in the golden state I truly felt a new surge of positive energy. So here are some beautiful images and wise words to keep in mind and inspire you through the week.


So take a moment to breath in, relax, and let the troubles fade away....

PS: in the coming days this little blog will be having some of its "first" moments with a guest post by  some inspiring ladies and a few other surprises.

xoxo,
Pilar

    So sorry you had to say goodbye to your grandmother, but glad you were able to spend time with family. We had some great moments while celebrating my grandpa's life. My family may have broken into song at dinner once or twice.

    Really makes you think about where you are going and where you want to be. Embrace it!

    Sweetheart, I'm so sorry for your loss. My grandmother passed in early September, and it was hard on everyone in the family. But even though a sad event brought us together, we were all reminded of how great it was to be together. There's always that silver lining right? Lots of love to you.
