FRIDAY FIVE

Here is my Thanksgiving edition of the Friday Five: where each week I share four things I’ve learned and one fun photo. This post falls within the month of November, so I think it's still timely, plus, I ask, when is being thankful out of season? 1. Thankful hearts awaken kindness in others. Have you noticed that it’s pretty much impossible to be mean or harsh…

Because I Knew You – Guest Post by Stephanie Fuller

Today I'm pleased to introduce you to Stephanie Fuller, a lively, fun-loving woman I met on the Twitterverse. Stephanie demonstrated to me how much she enjoys life, right down to the tiny details.  She's teaching me, by example, to look at my everyday routine with a certain degree of exuberance and delight, which is a valuable gift. Stephanie also knows how essential it is to have…

Birth of Dreams, Part 2: The Pinning Table

Welcome to Part Two of my creativity series, BIRTH OF DREAMS, a peek into the steps that bring a creative idea to completion (and my attempt to prove there is a method to creative madness!) Last week, I talked about how to gather ideas in The Junk Drawer. Today I’ll explore pinning ideas together, especially those ideas that seem attracted to each other. 2. THE PINNING…

Birth of Dreams, Part 1: The Junk Drawer

I have a great idea but…I feel too inexperienced, too clumsy, too {insert insecurity here} to do it justice. So I throw it away. That beautiful silver thing gets crumpled and stuffed into the trash can. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’ve learned that, in the creative process, there are a many steps to it, and most of us don’t feel highly qualified. But…

I’m feeling productive at work, and I have energy in spite of a 4pm sunset and thick cloud cover. This week my HappyLight bathed me in energizing UV light from its new spot on my desk. I really think it’s helping…

Christina and I met through our publisher and discovered a shared passion for all things theatrical, including whimsical costumes and singing. I'd like to have a karaoke party with her some day. Christina writes with heart and tenderness. You'll see it in her writing here and you'll find it in her book Work in…

When She Wears Purple…

I felt like a queen as I slid into my duster style sweater, soft purple yarn twined with silver…it has lots of ruffles and feels like a royal robe to me. During breakfast with friends later that day, the sweater got comments—“You remind of a woman who used to be a fashion model.”  “You could be the artist formerly known as Prince.” Clothing choices say a…

FRIDAY FIVE

Welcome to the Friday Five where every week I share 4 life lessons/observations from my week and 1 fun photo. Do you ever have those weeks when all seven days seem to be about getting just ONE thing done? I’ve heard it’s better to strive for one objective than many, and this week has been one of those. My goal? Slash off the thousands of unnecessary…

Handle with Care

If I were an item of clothing with my own ‘care instructions’ tag, it would probably read something like this: “regularly moisturize with kind words, feed daily doses of chocolate, exert gentle, routine exercise, and maintain healthy diet for happy demeanor.” Yes, I’m aware of what I need. But do I do it? The truth is, though I’d never encourage someone to skip their own self-care…
