I’m Marcia Pilar, sharing from home in Belarus, a beautiful people of calm and grace, a simple place, unlocked doors and unlatched gates, friendship, family, brotherhood.

Meet curious muse and rescue Westie wonder, Little Ruby.

Most days I share from the garden, which I like to call The Peaceful. I’m most creatively inspired by nature and children’s literature, and I especially enjoy pressing flowers from my daily walks, baking and photo-journaling.

From early childhood, making all things beautiful has been more than a simple pleasure, it is a joy and a part of me. How this Joy of mine is reaching this corner of the world, and how this precious corner of the world is likewise blessing my heart, I am pleased to share a glimpse through these pages.

May this day and all days find you in a garden sweet and peaceful, amazed by grace, rather than searching with lanterns for what may or may not lack in yourself or others, celebrating with banners and trumpets all the goodness that abounds. May you cling to greatness, all that lifts you, so near and dear that you’ll make no room for smallness …and rejoice always.
