Leap: In Love with Pinterest, a Celebration of Beauty in Images

January 24, 2012 by Christa

The Lantern Festival, Honolulu, Hawaii from...Pinterest

I found my way to through a blog friend labyrinth.

My friend Phyllis started a new blog, The Carb Lover Lady. Phyllis and I are bloggy friends after I asked to interview her back in 2009 for my Examiner column on entrepreneurship. Phyllis recently featured a recipe for Greek Yogurt Banana Bread on her blog from Ingredients, Inc., the site of Alison Lewis, a health expert. (By the way, I’ve started practicing my baking again thanks to the encouragement of MJ, another bloggy friend and great supporter of my writing and life.)

Alison uses Pinterest to find a lot of the images on her site and they’re stunning. The one of the banana bread made my mouth water so I toddled on over to find where photo like this can be found online. And then I went down the rabbit hole. I was blown away by the beauty and breadth of the images.

Pinterest is a site of curated images by people like you and me. Their mission is to build a community of people who share images they love. As my friend Amanda (another friend I met through blogging) said, “Fun to take a break from text and live with images for a while.” My friend Kelly pins images of houses she dreams of living in. And that’s the real genius of the site: like life, it’s what you make of it.

Above all, Pinterest is a wonderful reminder of all the beauty that this world holds, all the inspiration that’s out there if only we search for it and share it. Hop on over and check out the images that are making me smile – .

    I requested an invite this morning – it looks lovely! Heidi Haywood had mentioned it in her Facebook page, but I didn’t know what it was. Thanks for explaining it and peaking my interest (no pun intended!).

    Love Pinterest. It’s a refreshing site that one can get lost in and spend endless hours just scrolling down. You’re right, the imagery is a definite break from texting and simply reading.

    All for this site

    With Father’s Day approaching on June 17, we can be thankful for fathers who have loved us, nurtured us and provided for us security and stability. Now on Father’s Day, we honor them. I also realize there are some who might never have experienced this kind of relationship with their father, let alone ever have known their father. Whatever your situation, in this article I want to acquaint you with the Father of unconditional love. This Father of unconditional love is our Heavenly Father.
