This site is a gracious alternative to your morning paper, dedicated to the adventure of learning to love and live well, wearing haute pink, and believing love wins.
I write about learning to love God and love people, fitness, scrapbooking, decorating my 800 sf Denver Dreamhome, and fitting it all in.
My hope is that one day Paper & Glam represents a community of girls leaving a hot pink dent on this world not just with what we accomplish or even who we become, but with the way we have loved.
Let our lives be the proof that love wins
I gave my notice at work today, and now it feels real...I'm moving from San Diego, California to Denver, Colorado.
This seems "crazy and radical," to quote my mom, but I know it's the right choice. I've never been so sure of anything. Choosing to leave the people and the place I have grown to love so much these past four years has been a tough decision, but I think it's time...for a new adventure, to experience another seasons besides summer, for new friendships, for a new town, for change and growth.
I was praying for some guidance as I make this decision, and this commercial came on with Switchfoot's Dare You to Move.
God asked me a question, "Are you going to trust me for the life I have for you?" That is a question I can only answer with my life.
Now that this reality is blogged and even more real, back to watching football, I gotta see if Tennessee can stay undefeated...this is what I love about Sundays!

Welcome
Hey there, thanks for visiting Paper & Glam!
My name is Lisamarie. I'm a California girl living in Denver, a runner at dawn, and a corporate girl by 9. I'm about God, glam, Vogue and Voltaire, wearing hot pink and believing love wins.
I mainly write about learning to love and live well, with sprinkles of fitness, scrapbooking, literature, decorating my 800 sf Denver Dreamhome, and fitting it all in.
My prayer is that we represent a community of girls leaving a hot pink dent on this world, not with what we accomplish or who we become, but with the way we have loved.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit to the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop into the darkness of the unknown. FAITH is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to FLY.

Every experience God gives us, every person He puts into our lives, is the perfect preparation for a future only He can see.

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it knows and loves the One who is leading.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
