The Line.

“It’s not you, it’s me.” Good one. This really means, it is you, i just don't want to make you feel bad bullshit copout!

The best friends are usually unexpected. So wait.

Live.

I try really hard to live my life with my eyes wide open. Always on the lookout for something with the power to touch me, to light my fire, to make me want to write, create, record, photograph, laugh, cry, tell a story, etc.I like reading books about creativity, about new ways to think about life and the world. They have the power to get me seriously fired up. So much so that sometimes I can't let myself read before bed. I am inspired by laughter. By giggles. By sunlight. By words. By the feeling of paint on my fingertips. By looking through the lens.

A Sweep Escape From The Past.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Hot Commodity.

The truth is...everyone's going to hurt you, you just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Heart U.

Love is neither a feeling nor an addiction. Love is a choice which is built or torn down by a series of related choices. Lust,however, is a feeling and as such can be addictive. Infatuation, is a more romanitised version of lust and can be a more socially acceptable form of the same addiction.


I think it takes a strong connection and a lot of patience. A connection is just random and I believe you have to wait until you find it. But when you do find it, you have to pursue it and have the patience to deal with all the hardships in the relationship that'll come along.

No matter who you are love is destined to appear; Introvert or extrovert, Cinderella or the ugly queen. Love knows no face expression, no past, and no hurt. You don’t have to fulfill some category to be loved. The question will be; will you ignore it and hope it goes away, because of uncertainty and your insecurities or you can take a chance and be surprised.

Isn't it better to wait for what you want than to rush and never have what you need?

Gratitudes.

One of the things I try to do when I get stressed out (lots of stuff on my plate right now - good stuff, but stuff nonetheless) is write up a list of gratitudes.

It's an attempt to change my outlook, to refocus and get myself moving forward once again.

Here's my list for today:

1. Working from home. There are positives and negatives to this set-up, but overall I love it and am really thankful.
2. Getting my t-shirts delivered and ready for screen printing the yummyness.
3. Sleeping in.
4. Getting new pictures of pure cuteness...Hayden Dawn.
5. Getting my order from Shutterfly.
6. Having and maintaining a killer tan.
7. Excited to have another experience with a new group of people.
8. So thankful that my niece was born safe and sound just about on time.

Note: As I sat here writing this list this morning I actually found it to be tough to think of things. That's a pretty good sign to me that I am out of sync with feeling thankful on a daily basis. Definitely something I need to work on again - time to pull out my gratitude file and get to writing things down.

If you are feeling up to it, I would love to read what you are thankful for today.

Out With The Candles.

Happy Birthday Callie Beth!

Hi.

Rife With Possibilities.

Today.

William Henry Channing : To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Hayden Dawn.

The Power Of 3.

Hello June.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres : Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that's why I made works of art.
