A Friendly Reminder

Very happy.

Tears of Joy

How many times have you heard that phrase??

Well, over the past 48 hours, I have had the blessing of experiencing it in a very real way. One of my best friends, lost a spiritual mentor and precious friend this morning. I was given the sweet opportunity to get to know him and his wife, a little bit, through my friend and for that I am so grateful. He was a pursuer of hearts and through his short time here on earth he served as a beautiful example of how we, as Christians, should live each day - loving those around us unconditionally.

Talking to my friend this morning was so special - she reminded me that even in death - we must find JOY! Our time here on earth is so short - and we GET THE GIFT of spending eternity with Him in heaven!! She described that over the past 2 days there was laughter and delight in the fact that her dear friend was entering the KINGDOM OF GOD!!

God is so good!

Thanks to my sweet friend for her joyful example.

Camp Dance

Hands down - the best event that I have attended in the 2.5 years I have lived in ATL is Camp Dance. I'm am posting this on my blog to encourage you all to sign up to attend - and experience it for yourself. Camp Dance is an event benefiting Camp Twin Lakes, a recreational camp for children with serious illnesses and life challenges. This year the event is, again, being held at Zoo Atlanta on the evening of May 8th. For those who haven't been, there's live music, dancing, free food/beer/wine, and you can walk around the zoo at feeding time. It is a great way to meet new friends and do something different than your typical weekend!

Come on out - you can purchase your tickets at: www.CampDance.org

Tickets are $55 until April 2, $65 until April 20, and then $75 until they are sold out (and it does sell out). If you're thinking that's too expensive for a night at the zoo, just remember it's helping a lot of kids and it includes everything, food/beer/wine (it's a really great deal). Invite all your friends and let's make this year's Camp Dance even better than last years!

P.S. There's Krispy Kreme donuts on your way out...I'm just sayin'!

Hope to see you out there!

A Mary Heart

This weekend was just perfect!

I don't know about you but the first day of spring proved to be the kickoff of a GREAT new season here in ATL. The sun was shining - everyone was outside and I managed to get some sort of tan from laying out at the pool all day long - hahaha - no big deal!

But, I think the best part of the weekend happened on Saturday afternoon. A group of my friends and I stopped by my mentor's house to pick up a couple of things. When we got there she was gardening - and as we pulled into her driveway she dropped everything - coming to greet us with open arms and a big hug! She is precious and someone that I will most likely reference a lot in my blog. She is such an incredible, Godly woman and she really showed me the importance (on Saturday especially) of harnessing a "Mary heart in a Martha World" (which is really cool - because it is what we studied in the bible study that she led - practicing what she preaches!! SO AWESOME!!). She dropped everything that she was doing to be in fellowship with us. She practiced incredible patience - not worrying about everything on her "to-do list" but solely focusing on deepening her relationship with each one of us. It was a precious illustration to me of Jesus's love and how each of us should take on each day - not worrying about everything that we have to do - but focusing on the fact that we are His vessels and it is vital that we show Christ's love to every life that we encounter along our journey on earth. It is something that can only be done by investing time in other people's lives - not solely centering on our own.

I charge you all to live in such a way!

Here's to the beginning of a great week!!
Boe

It's a beautiful day!!

So - I don't know if you all have been outside today - but it is absolutely PERFECT!! Saw this saying and needed to post!!

Go outside, sip on a G&T and enjoy the BEAUTIFUL sunshine!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

The Luck O' the Irish

Growing up - my family went all out for St. Patrick's Day! I can vividly remember waking up on the 17th of March (for I don't even know how many years) to a St. Patty's Day spread on the kitchen table - everything from the plates we were eating on to the milk in our cereal were green - my mom's side of the family is Irish - so needless to say we get pretty excited about the holiday. For those of you who have taken part in this time honored tradition with my family, you know that the day ends with the most DELICIOUS dinner!! Homemade corned beef and cabbage! Just thinking about Jacki Boe's secret (and DELICIOUS) recipe makes my mouth water - very jealous that my Dad get's to eat such a phenomenal meal tonight!

As for me - I will just partake in a delicious beer of some sort...

You should do the same!

White Jeans?

jeans: jbrand, top: vintage vera, sandals: anthropologie, glasses: forever 21, watch: walmart

One of my friends at work sent me this pic from one of the blogs she reads (http://ascotfriday.typepad.com/) and I am in love! Now - I know what you're thinking, "Boe - white jeans?? Are you serious???" - as serious as a heart attack - I'm in love with this look!

I WILL be sporting this whole outfit the day after Easter!

Until then I will just dream of warmer weather and the better wardrobe that it brings!

Boe

You're welcome.

A letter

Sweet Summertime,

I miss you.

Friendship is...

A gift...


God has blessed my life with some pretty incredible people – and, with great honor, I get to call them – my friends. He has strategically placed each of them throughout my path at the very perfect moments – weaving their treasured hearts delicately into the tapestry of my life. They are my soul mates…partners in crime…fun-makers…confidants to laugh and cry with – they are the sweetest of blessings.

And last weekend I had the chance to hang out with some of them! Talk about a BLISSFUL occasion – if you tried to bottle up the joy that flows from each of these girls – it would BURST!

Thank you all for being wonderful friends and precious blessings in my life.

I am so thankful.

Boe
