Summer is Over?

Well, it is for a few days anyway.  I'll be fleeing the country in 17days!  I'm headed to Central America!  All part of my mid-life crisis.  Number 3 as far as I can tell.  The current crisis always seems to be the worst one.  

I haven't turned my back on the art dream, just needed a break from it.  I really enjoyed summer! Swimming, camping, beaching and spending as many hours as possible absorbing as much vitamin d as I could.

And now, fall clean up, packing, and planning for the future will ensue!  Who knows what the future will bring.  Plus the future never gets here.  We only have today.  So let's live it while we can!

xo!

Some Summer!

August is jam-packed with summer goodness!  I'll check back as I can, but I really need to have some good old fashioned summer fun! 

Happy summer!  Happy creating!

Kitties have Mercy!

Yesterday was the last class for my Mercy Corp Northwest Business Foundations Class.  If you are in Portland and have a business or are thinking about having one, I strongly urge you to take the class!!  It is filled with amazing information and the teacher and staff are wonderful! 

Some of the information may not have been what I really wanted to hear, but it really was invaluable! 

Thank you Mercy Corp Northwest for loving small businesses! 

Summer Vacation!

Apparently I've been on summer vacation!  Camping, the beach and having a great time!  Just wishing for more sun! 

So, I'd love to hear what you've been doing for your summer vacations!

10 Year Text by Tia Singh

Speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Imagine your future self, ie, you 10 years from now. If he/she were to send you a tweet or text message, 1) what would it say and 2) how would that transform your life or change something you’re doing, thinking, believing or saying today?
