Paper & Glam

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

Daily Grace

177356877_AWmI8MPu_c

What if I woke up tomorrow with only the blessings 
I remembered the thank God for yesterday? 

Most of life is routine. I run, work, church, play, and repeat. In that, I often let the daily routine of life overshadow the daily grace of it. On September 26th, I challenged myself to take a picture a day to faithfully count the blessings in my life, learn to look at them through the eyes of gratitude, and record life along the way. My plan is to post a week's worth of grace for a year and watch how that challenge changes my heart and my perspective.

TRUTH
"In every single moment we have an opportunity to 
find something worth being amazed by."

God is faithful. His grace abounds....and in everything I will give thanks.

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.

    Let our lives be the proof that love wins.

    Love wins,
    Lisamarie
