Tupelo Honey - Bloom Where Planted

Bloom Where Planted

Tupelo Honey

Had to run out and grab something out of the car just a minute ago. It is truly beautiful outside! I love it when you look around on a night like this one. I revel in the few moments of confusion I feel when I cannot tell if it is just beginning to be dawn or if it is indeed the middle of the night, the way the light splashes onto the still life of insignificant objects that rest atop blackened blades of earthy-fruited grass. This is but one of the many magical things I love about summer nights. All the crickets, the tree frogs, the locusts, serenading the heavens and singing their songs up, up, and into the air, oblivious to the joy people like me find in their sweet harmony. <3

My name is Elizabeth, and I come bearing gifts. I have a story to tell, you see. Several stories, really. I joke that writing is cheaper than therapy, and it is true that writing has been life-changing for me in so many ways.

I want you to feel free to click the YouTube arrow to play the music while you're indulging yourself here. Go ahead, put it on loop for the time it takes you to read the entire passage. I promise, you won't be sorry. Why, I listen on loop as I write these memories, these scenarios, these monumental lessons of my life. You know, so I can feel the music inside of me. It is my belief that we, all of us, have memories linked to the things we love most: Beauty, Food, Scent, Touch, and Sound.

With this blog, it is my intention to honor those memories through the five senses. We will explore together a little bit of art, food, smelly-goods, tactile pleasures, and melodies that take us allllll back, all the way back. I invite you to come along for the drive, so to speak, because I have lots to talk about. And of course, as someone who wants to be your friend, I want to know how you feel, too, because in kindergarten we learned that this is how a friendship works...give and take. Are you with me?

Alrighty then. Let's Do This!
