Happy
Sunday, y'all!
I
hope your weekend thus far has been full of rest and rejuvenation. And,
if it hasn't, I hope that you find some space in your Sunday to take a few deep
breaths and drink in the beauty of summer, family and friends, or solitude.
Each week, a few of my favorite bloggers (Nicole of Making It Lovely and Tracy from Shutterbean) post a round-up of their favorite articles, posts, photographs, videos, and so on from around the web. Although I can't promise a weekly list, I do want to make a habit of sharing with you the things that have inspired or challenged me, made me laugh or cry, caught my eye, or made me hungry. So, welcome to my version of the Sunday Post.
1. Speaking of resting and drinking in the world around you, July 18 was World Listening Day. We were all supposed to quiet down and listen -- REALLY listen -- to what was going around us. If you missed it, listen to this BBC report and then head out on a sound walk.
2. Henri the cat makes me giggle.
3. Maybe I've been watching too much Mad Men, but I am loving anything and everything mid century modern. Antonia Osswald's house tour over at ABeautifulMess makes me swoon. Check out the floors in her bedroom!
4. This one-pan farro with tomatoes from Smitten Kitchen needs to get in my belly.
5. There are a lot of important things being said regarding the Trayvon Martin case. Talib Kweli, Nelly, and Abby Dobson performed "Before He Walked" on The Tonight Show in tribute to Trayvon. President Obama's remarks were important.
6. Let's end with a little bit of hope. Check out this Philadelphia school's approach to ending violence and increasing student support. Kids are awesome. This video of kids reacting to a Cheerios commercial (and to other reactions) is proof.
Have a great day! Remember, take some time to be still and listen.
