(Via) Hello There! Do you make "resolutions" for the new year? Another idea is to choose a word (something that has meaning for you) to focus on in the upcoming year. The idea comes from Ali Edwards. Here's an excerpt from a blog post she wrote in 2007: A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and slow. Last year I began a tradition of chosing one word for myself each January – a word that I can focus… Read More
Acts of Kindness
Hi Friends. I want to share a little story with you. Sometime during the hustle and bustle of the holidays I was shopping at my favorite thrift store. It was a busy day at the shop, the carts packed full of all sorts of things. Except one cart that caught my eye. It was piled high with two types of items: cozy sweatshirts and warm coats. And this very cute and friendly lady named Debbie was buying ALL of them. Debbie Turns out Debbie is a volunteer for a group called AOK Friends or Acts of Kindness Friends. She… Read More
Happy New Year
Print by Farouche I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if… Read More

Trendspotting: Ballet Inspired
Hey has anyone seen the Black Swan movie yet? I did. I admit I don't get out much. So I thought this was going to be a pretty movie about ballet dancers. It's sort of more complicated than that. But the "ballet" part– the dancing and costumes are beautiful. So I was inspired see what ballet-inspired items I could find on etsy: Gorgeous Grown-Up Ballet Dress "Ballerina" Fine Art Photograph Studded Ballet Slippers Ballerina Note Cards Vintage Dress in Ballet Slipper Pink Dancing Fairy Cookies Shabby Ballerina Framed Art Lots of fun stuff…
