Behind Unveiling Beautiful

I begin this blog as an attempt to recognize and appreciate the beauty around me. I have friends that not only see and cherish the beautiful things in life, but they regularly create new beautiful things as well. They are my role models. Those who see beauty beyond the digitally edited pages of magazines and scripted passions of movies. My hope in writing this blog is that I form the habit of seeking out the beautiful things in my daily life so that I can really cherish these things and not just pass right by them. My hope for those who read this blog is that you would begin to do the same. There is a phrase, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I believe this to be true, and I also believe that I can train my eyes to see beauty and train my heart to take note of and cherish the beautiful in life.
