Today is an exciting day for our family. My husband’s new book, The Beauty Chasers, releases into the world and I am so excited to celebrate his work.
It's the result of nearly ten years of Tim's study on beauty, the natural outpouring of our life lived in Oxford pursuing an incongruent lifestyle.
"This idea of chasing beauty is about pursuing a lifestyle that goes against the cultural grain of busyness, loudness, and naked ambition,” Tim writes on the opening page.
Our family learned how to slow our pace, see with our eyes things we hadn't noticed before, and pursue the quiet life.
It was a process of stripping away what we were used to and learning to appreciate wonder, a slower pace of life, and possessing less “stuff”. Our patterns as a family changed and we still lovingly refer to this as our “Oxford Rhythm”.
We're still learning how to be Beauty Chasers. And the process is full of wonder.
Tim continues,
"Beauty Chasers are thinkers and listeners. They see when the world goes blind. They embody quietness when all the world wants to do is scream. They promote the good of others when the world says promote yourself. They give life to others when the world seems hell-bent on killing. Beauty Chasers live their lives to a different cadence."
Beauty changed us as a family.
It still changes us.
There is no part of our lives Beauty hasn’t touched.
If you'd like to join us on our journey, The Beauty Chasers releases today and you can order it here.
Together, let's discover the joy of being a beauty chaser.
