Searching for Stars

Stargazer Lily

This July, beginning on the 4th, I’m celebrating  not by looking back—but by looking up.

In these challenging times, I’m choosing to lift my gaze, and my spirits, by searching for stars -  the kind that remind us we’re surrounded by beauty, resilience, and wonder.
​
Stars are everywhere. We find them in expected places— twinkling in the midnight blue sky or on the American flag. But they also appear in unexpected ways: in the bloom of a stargazer lily, the shape of a sweet gum leaf, the stitching of an heirloom quilt, or tucked on a shelf in a hardware store or museum.
Throughout July, I’ll be sharing these shining discoveries and tagging them on Instagram with a #SearchingForStars. I’d love for you to join me—by noticing, photographing, and/or posting the stars you find around you. Let’s fill our feeds, and our hearts, with light.
