Growing up on a horse farm in South Carolina, we had no shortage of nature surrounding us. Being able to see my grandparents house out of our kitchen window was the cherry on top. My grandmother's farmhouse was filled with framed portraits of any bird you could name and you could always find her bird watching from her worn in spot at the end of the couch. 

Signs and messages are all around us. Cardinals follow me. I greet one outside of my apartment every morning. I see them in the trees on my walks with my yellow lab, Violet. They swoop in front of my car, especially on Kiawah Island. They are a symbol of love and that someone who loved you is with you.

I'll never turn down a crisp glass of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Acts of service are my love language - fitting. My Violet Anne is the light of my life. Give me a triple espresso over ice any day (well really, every day please.) Heard of Yellowstone? Yep, obsessed. All things Marchesa. The Lumineers. To Kill A Mockingbird is my all time favorite book. An overload of butterfly ranunculus will be in my very own bridal bouquet one day.
