Once upon a time, John and I were travelling through the mojave desert (as you do) when we came across a little thrift store on the side of the road. At first glance it was nothing special, but we decided to stretch our legs and go inside. Once we did a bit of rummaging, we found out it was actually a treasure trove of gorgeous things (I mean, a retro Disney lunchbox? Yes please). Sometimes you have to rummage through some crap, physically, emotionally, literally, metaphorically – in order to get to the good stuff.

But keep on digging, because once you find what you’re after, it will all be worth it!
