The past month has reinforced some realizations, and I am restless and longing to create again. What would I do if there were no limitations? What are the possibilities of which I haven't even thought yet?
Have an awesome week!

A little note on perspective and gratitude. It's easy to say thank you for the "big" things, but there are an infinite number of everyday miracles surrounding us all the time. Have a fabulous week!

"You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way."

A little late today, but a stop to compliment a gentleman on his urban garden Friday led to a wonderful conversation, a personal tour of said garden, and an invitation to return for vegetables and more photos.
Building and keeping connections-- whether it's a quick "thank you" for making this corner brighter or taking time to check in with a friend over coffee--strenghthens the fabric of life.

“Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.”
― Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People
So easy to get caught in the negative energy out there, as I did this weekend. Can't be happy if you're angry. I have to remind myself to breathe, be grateful, and ask "how can it get any better than this?"
Have an even better week than last!

“It’s important to be interested in everything. You have your life – experience it to the fullest. You’re eventually going to lose it anyway. I am a very restless personality. If I take time off, I’m likely to do something like build a resort. I can’t help myself. That’s why I try to make businesses out of all of the things that I enjoy: food, wine, films. My company, FFC Brands, sells my taste. I want to set a precedent for my children. They won’t hear me say on my deathbed that I wish I had lived my life differently. I am one big yes.”
Francis Ford Coppola
This quote, from an interview in Fast Company magazine, had a profound influence on me and resonates to this day.
Have an awesome week!

Have a great week and month!
