Beauty. Attention. Creation.

Life

Tap, Tap

May 31, 2010 by Rayna Diane Hennen

I guess it could be considered a new year’s resolution though I never officially decided that it would be. It developed out of a moment of self-awareness: my relationship issues were actually more my fault than anything else.

A New Year

January 3, 2010 by Rayna Diane Hennen

I like that it’s really cold right now. It is refreshing, especially in the mornings. Even the coldest days are welcomed, if briefly, for the relief and reprieve from the stifling morning heat that pervades our apartment.

Say Something!

December 12, 2009 by Rayna Diane Hennen

These aren’t mind-blowing revelations by any means but I think they’re important. The in-house design department I work in suffered for a long time because we didn’t speak up. We also compromise a lot since there are more than 3 people involved in any given project, which can be frustrating but if you really believe that what you’re thinking should be done will benefit the project, say it.

What is home?

November 22, 2009 by Rayna Diane Hennen

What is home? Or what feels like home? Arguably, it might be somewhere you have lived for most of your life, somewhere you are familiar.

Perfection Confinement

August 10, 2009 by Rayna Diane Hennen

I have this perfection issue. I think that when I write or make something it has to come out “right” the first time.

“I think I’ll take a moment and celebrate my age”

March 18, 2009 by Rayna Diane Hennen

As 30 draws near for me and many of my friends I am struck by how many are in a state of alarm. I cannot say for sure how much of it is genuine and how much is just ingrained from hearing people continuously lament the aging process. Were I to take my mother seriously on how unwelcome age is I think I would have ended it before 25. This

There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake State Campground. The campsites are all tucked into the actual shape of the land instead of rows of campsites next to each other.

If you get up early-ish, the fog sits on the lake (second image) and creates some dreamy but sort of eerie images.

Welcome to September! Can you believe this: In t Welcome to September! 

Can you believe this: In the year 1752, the British Empire skipped 11 days of September, between the 2nd and 14th. 😄  It was due to changing the calendar to a new system but yeah, who needs those days!

Also, September 17th, 1787 was the day that the US Constitution was adopted. 📜 💜
