The Summer Shadow: Behind the Scenes

The past few months, I've been preparing for my summer project. Here's a sneak peek at a few quotations that I hoped to tack somewhere on the website, but they just didn't fit. They work with my theme and inspired me as I prepare for this summer:

“We are yet too young to know what we are fit for.” 

John Jay, Federalist #2

“When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence—that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of reality.”

Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“I learned that the future will never be predictable and that mutual dependence in daily life is the truest form of safety.”

Hansen, Vogue July 2017

“It is the duty of all, as far as they can, to improve their own mental faculties, because we are commanded to love God with all of our minds, as well as with all our hearts.”

Angela Grimke, An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South

“The heart of hospitality is about making space for people to feel seen and heard and loved.”

Shauna Niequist, Bread and Wine
