Hello!

Nice to meet you!

I'm Brianna. I believe in the beauty and magic of life, as a trustworthy constant, as something I come back to over and over again. No matter how much heartbreak, how many challenges, or how difficult a season... I believe there is always still joy and whimsy and one thousand tries. The grace to get up and give it another shot, the beauty in continual growth, and the promise that there are always better tomorrows on their way. Even daily life, at its most mundane, is stuffed full of little miracles and delights, awaiting us whenever we're ready to stop and pay attention. In that spirit of noticing and gratitude, I've started this blog called Everyday Magic, and I'm happy you are here!
