“You inspire us to ‘find Beauty’---everywhere!”
As you may know, I’ve been writing and sharing the beauty around us on Glimsen for ten (!) years now. I do it for two reasons: 1) a sense of calling and 2) you, my readers.
Whenever I get a comment like the one above, it gives me a lift. And when readers and friends tell me that they are finding beauty in their lives because of Glimsen, it gives me great delight.
Through the years, several of you have gone even further by sending me pictures. You often say, “This made me think of you and Glimsen.”
Thank you for sharing your photos with me. Send more! I just may use them in a future post.
Today, I am putting the spotlight on you and your photos of summer beauty, plus one surprise. You’ll see what I mean…

Would any of these people say that these beauty sightings changed their life? Probably not, but that doesn’t negate the importance of it in our lives—not only the beauty but the Source of it.
Where does beauty come from? If you haven’t thought about it, it’s a question worth asking—maybe the next time you walk down a shady path lined with ferns. Or when you catch a glimpse of a bird, or the colors of sunset, the intricately-shaped petals of a flower, or the magnificence of a mountain that is surrounded by a coastline.
If you do ask yourself that question—where does beauty from?—I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Just leave a comment or email me.
In the meantime, friends, enjoy the beauty of summer and let know what you discover along the way.
