*walking in a winter wonderland* {wednesday}

Ahh....I wish it would snow again here in Texas. I wish. I wish. I wish.
I just heard that there is a chance on Friday. *crosses fingers*

Isn't this photo just breathtaking?
❋
That's it!
I'm going to spend the rest of the day dreaming of snow and winter wonderlands...
;)

~Are you inspired yet? Do any of you live where it will definitely snow soon? My curious mind wants to know. =)

~WORLD AIDS DAY~

Today, December 1st, is World AIDS Day.

As some of you may already know about me, I am very inspired and eager to help organizations such as Product (RED) to eliminate AIDS in Africa.

I am so pleased to see that Nike has just jumped on board with Product (RED) with their red laces.

If you have some time, please look into checking out this new documentary called The Lazarus Effect. It's due out this coming Spring. Click here to find out more.
