Spotting Rainbows?

Spotting rainbows is the act of finding good in every situation, beauty in every person and joy in life's smallest moments. Part of it is being inspired and inspiring others to do the same.

I'll admit, its difficult when things don't go our way or when other's don't behave in a manner we expect them to. What I've learned is that I can't control what anybody does, says, thinks, acts or how they react to me. I can only control my actions, words and I alone determine how I will respond to people and react to situations.

The above is my intent but let me be the first to say I often fall short of that intention. I lean towards the dramatic, or as some would say, "overly-dramatic!" There are times I pop off at the mouth, I sulk, I throw tantrums, I gossip, I see the cup as half empty — in short, I'm difficult to be around. But then I look around, I listen and I remind myself that I might be missing the rainbow in the storm, real or imagine, I find myself in. And that hope is comfort in and of itself. I could go on with my sappy self but I'll spare you.

Spotting Rainbows is a lifestyle blog focused on creating a life full of hope, beauty and grace. I hope to share daily inspiration for crafts, decor, fashion and organization. I want to be inspired in my daily life and wish to inspire those around me. The best part of Spotting Rainbows is that you can find beauty and inspiration in an imperfect life.

I hope you join me on the greatest adventure of all...LIFE.
