Inspire

When I started this blog, I was inspired to share my gluten free story, share a few recipes and maybe, just maybe, divulge my go-to San Francisco restaurant spots to eat safely and deliciously gluten free. Just a few things have happened since that day three and a half years ago.

First and foremost, I fell in love with photography. I'm decidedly still an amateur, but I absolutely love the way that picking up a camera allows me look at the world in a new way, filled with color and light and angles that I might not have otherwise noticed.

Second, I fell deeply, madly in love with blogs. I've read wedding blogs, food blogs, shelter blogs, personal style blogs, blogs that turned into books, the books based on those blogs, and a million other randomly themed blogs. I gave up Google Reader because I was simply following too many blogs to count. Got a blog you love? Tell me about it. I'll devour it and savor every last post.

Third, and likely as a result of my newfound love of photography and blogs, I became humbly inspired. I find inspiration in the smallest things- the way the glitter on these comfy shoes looked against the swell of the Pacific, the sultry voice of Adele on her recent album, and the way a green piece of dill stands out on a perfectly seared pink piece of salmon.

One thing hasn't changed. I am still not passionate about gluten. And though everything I post here will continue to be gluten free, I'm finding inspiration to redesign the blog itself and refresh the content that I post here. I hope you'll like it.

Until then, here are a few of the things inspiring me this week:

• Adele's new album, 21
• The spring vegetables in this month's edition of Bon Appetit
• This amazing and heartwarming book, The Help
• The perfect minimalism posted on You Are The River
• Online shelter magazines like Rue
• The adorable chronicles of two besties on 75th and Sedgwick
• Denver The Guilty Dog
