Oscar Wilde once famously pined that it was such a pity how "youth was wasted on the young", a bit of whimsical commentary of how free-spirited youth frequently gets bogged down with poor decision making and tedious drama.This is why one of my favorite blogs is from a young lady that lives in the north San Diego area beach town of Carlsbad, California.
Her name is Bartley; a woman that appears to have an extremely purpose driven drive with each new day, Which is something that I imagine Wilde would take notice of, as she is the absolute antithesis of what Wilde lamented in his take on youth.
Recently Bartley's travels placed her back in her roots of Minneapolis, where she ran into pop music icon Sheryl Crow (pictured here, along with Bartley's friend Sarah), in a South Minneapolis antique store. Bartley's smile is infectious and constant, as if it were painted on her face.
Bartley writes one of my favorite blogs, which is a tightly scribed chronicle of her travels and love of life, family and faith.
For me, Bartley's blog offers a gentle reminder to stop and smell the roses every day.
