sometimes I wonder
why life feels
so uphill most of the time.
but maybe
the mountains are rooting for us.
maybe they want us to see sights
we would never get to see without them.
because in that moment,
when life takes your breath away
for all her beauty, you are reborn.
and I don’t think there is anything
more perfect
in this world than a new beginning.
A New Beginning

S.C. Lourie is a free-spirit mama living both magically and simply with her childhood sweetheart and three gorgeous girls in London, UK (although she pines for the beach most days!). After experiencing her first and late miscarriage in early 2016, her world forever changed and has been a catalyst for a new wave of art and writing in her work. She thoroughly enjoys making beautiful things for the beautiful folk that support and follow her work.
