Things aren’t always what they seem.  I think we all know that from social media.  But do we really ‘KNOW’ that!??

A happy selfie, a bunch of friends jumping, all dressed up and no where to go…why not take another selfie.  Dancing at a wedding…everything seems to be portrayed as fun and happy.  But is it? 

Of course that is to be expected in todays day and age…the same goes with looks.  We all judge beauty in different ways but beauty TRULY does stem from the heart.

Walking down the streets of Everett literally chasing the sunset with one of my bride and grooms…we were sure we were going to miss that last bit of sunflare when a gal, an artist herself, someone I admit I would not typically strike up a conversation with…overheard us and said ‘would you want to use the rooftop of my apartment building’!??

UM…. YES…YES we would…could she read my mind…oh my gosh I felt so blessed yet deep inside I had to admit to myself I wasn’t sure If I would have offered the same to her had it been her need.  She is an artist, a painter, a visionary.   I admire her kindness and willingness to trust.  Thank you!

If you are interested in her artwork you can check it out at www.warpaint.mobi

After having a few months to reflect on this and be honest with myself about  the question of ‘would I have offered the same to her?  I realize more and more we all have a story to tell…and in that story there is beauty and meaning.   

Thank you for sharing your rooftop and more importantly showing me a deeper side to humanity…I am not perfect, my family is not perfect (or the chaos for coordinating family photos)  AND everyday I realize more and more I simply need God!
