ohhh aww


i just got the best new business idea! i was sitting at my favorite little beach in maine called seapoint and like a lightening bolt the name and concept of the business struck. nothing revolutionary and an extension of what i'm already doing, but it feels so exciting and good that i must capture that intial feeling here.

ideas are fleeting in... i can already envision the business card and the steps i need to take! wahoo! i love it when creative ideas after much mulling crystalize like magic and it just feels right. also, i think coming back east to grieve with my family over a loss of a loved one has allowed me to dig deep at what i want out of life to make it richer and create space for rebirth.

above is a photo from earlier this summer when it was all but raining and foggy and now it is hot and humid, with a capital H!

off to lunch! craving seafood and am in the right place.

housekeeping

hi,
i've been feeling a bit quiet here on my blog as i'm a chatty cathy over on facebook. so much easier/quicker/automatic to connect with friends there, but really it's makes me a little ADD. so, hello, i'm still here.
i've been wanting to write a post about where i'm at right now in time...
back from italy, new mexico, a new year, president!, and i'm 33 yo, it's the double magic number-- i love both the sesame street and de la soul versions here:


last year i wrote 32 things i wanted to manifest over the course of the year. crazy powerful as most of them came true in abundance. minus a few.
i never sewed curtains (settled with IKEA ones), never got a coffee table (really not the space for one), have not taken that trip to nova scotia nor have published my children's book. the rest, i tackled valiantly and continue to. wait, i've never actually had a solo show, despite the many joint shows... something to pursue for 2009 indeed.

so in this magic year, there are some things i'd like to aim for... i'm going to come up with the new list. yes. taking it even more seriously now, knowing the power of the written word. stay tuned folks. i'm looking forward to what awaits. and you?

xoxo

if someone wanted to take me on a date

lolo
i'd want to go to lolo on 22nd btw mission & valencia. shash & i took a walk yesterday and peeked in here and i love how well designed it is... mexican table cloth booths, freezer stencil paper peacock mirrors and inspired DIY design. the foodie in me is dying to check it. after having worked at so many incredible restaurants where i got free eats... i'm missing that.. not the dysfunction and drama tho! why do they go hand in hand?
