creative sharings for new perspectives
Last weekend we saw the movie, JOY. I went in wanting to love it. As someone who barely showers without having an idea, I thought it would motivate me. It did. But not in the way I thought it would. And therein lies one of my favorite life learnings -- “You always get what you… Continue reading JOY
Normally I post on Mondays, (MindFULL Mondays), but as we set the clocks back one hour, I had to find a way to make the dark, cold nights upon us, warmer. So this morning, as I woke up to the bright sun at 6:30am and thought about my day ahead and what to make for… Continue reading Souper Sunday
The sun is shining and my daughter is outside, taking headshots of a friend. She has recently discovered photography and its fun to watch her document people, places and ideas. Last year I came across this posting and I couldn't wait for this January to share it - 10 Cant Miss Photos to Take Each… Continue reading Picture This Year
Orange is the new Black. Not only is it a terrific TV show, it also happens to be one of my favorite colors. I am currently in a phase where I love neutrals (taupe, grey, creme) mixed with a pop of color. It’s showing up in my home, where I am working on choosing new… Continue reading Color My World

Last week, as I was walking my laps around the park, I was talking on the phone with my wonderful stepsister, Lisa. The reception was sketchy, so you can imagine my surprise when all I heard was “Get your &^%$ together!” “What?” I cringed back. “It’s the name of a web-site geared toward Life and… Continue reading Get Your *&^% Together

This is a very auspicious time for reflection and redirection. Whether or not you are Jewish,… Continue reading 30 MindFULL Days
Summer is finally here! Something about life seems easier, including the ever present question, “What’s for dinner?” As the grill wafts its enticing aroma, I love to put my vodka/soda/ lime in my cute handblown glass, pop on some Maroon5, sit on the back step by my hydrangea and pretend I am on Cape Cod.… Continue reading MindFULL Gazpacho
It’s school break and that means lots of house time. Funny what I notice about my house after sitting in the same chair for hours. Seeing things with a new perspective can help me think that I have created something new, without spending much money. Take this drink stand I recently purchased. It just sat… Continue reading Birds Eye View
