Goodness + Beauty {5}

TorrieUpdated on September 30, 2022September 30, 2022

I started a new series this year to encourage me to 1) put a little more effort into my photography again, and 2) notice and acknowledge some of the many wonderful things that are all around me on a regular basis. Each month(ish), I’m challenging myself to take at least five pictures of beauty, as …

A Happy List – Late Summer

TorrieUpdated on November 13, 2017August 3, 2017

The past several months, at times, have had me acting a little more doom-and-gloom than I’d like. Although I’ve always been pretty terrible at keeping up a regular gratitude practice, I have been consciously trying to label things that bring me joy more.

A Raven in the Snow

TorrieUpdated on August 26, 2018November 17, 2016

Things That Bring Me Joy: Meditation

TorrieSeptember 26, 2013September 26, 2013

Sure, when I was doing yoga three times a week, it involved some meditation-type mental exercises, but I …

Things That Bring Me Joy: Cheese

TorrieAugust 15, 2013August 15, 2013

  I don’t know why these posts always seem to bring a confession out of me, but here’s another one: I’m a bit of a cheese snob (Tillamook extra sharp or bust!). If I was forced to make the decision between giving up chocolate or cheese–heaven forbid this ever happens–I think I would have to …

Things That Bring Me Joy: Watching People Eat

TorrieAugust 9, 2013August 9, 2013
