I'm Jess Gatlyn. i'm loving life with my guy Samuel and our little boho wilds, Forest and Cedar. We like to tell stories from our journey in thought, art, image and film. This is where I gather favorite memories, share my own creative expression in soul, dress and living. this is my window to find commonality and kindred spirits. I believe in simple love and find joy in celebrating the hearts of those around me, near or far.
A friend of mine posted this video and I haven't been able to stop watching it. This family's love inspires my heart in so many ways. Take a moment and watch.
As a birth mother myself, I can't tell you how much that video made me tear up. It's so beautiful watching families come together in a beautiful unison.

ReplyDeleteI love your blog - new follower here. I just knew I was going to love it when I saw the words 'boho baby bump,' from one boho mama to the next. ;)
