A Few Links for your Monday

aren't these pencils from ACD Shop adorable? Plus, the proceeds go to help end sex slavery and exploitation.

Today, I'm popping in to share a few links about others who are creating, writing, and saying good stuff about believing beautiful about your story:

I loved this post that Robin from The Balanced Life wrote. I think that part of believing our story is beautiful is not falling into constantly comparing our lives to others or criticizing other's lives/stories. Her thoughts articulated so many of my own :) Even though it's focus is on social media, I think her words go beyond what we see online.

Erin Lauray shared about honoring where you are. This post was so life-giving and encouraging for me. If you feel like you are in a place where it's hard to just be there, hop over to her blog and read this post.

These photos reminded me of the brevity and beauty of our story--both the love and the pain.

Well, I gotta pop out now and get some stuff accomplished while Luke snoozes :)
