change is the only constant
good morning darling friends! i hope you had a fantastic holiday. it’s absolutely silent here so i have a rare and treasured moment to come by and say hello. as usual the days are moving at the speed of light and trying to keep up is a full time job. i finally have the next few to myself and am looking forward to spending time with my computer which has been severely neglected!
before hitting the inbox i wanted to share a little of what’s going on. it’s been house hunters around here trying to find a new place asap as the construction is amping up outside my window. yesterday we saw what’s probably my favorite so far (above). the view is heaven but the apartment is beyond a fixer upper. i got spoiled having everything brand spanking new. i’ll have to be an on the fly renovation on the wayyyy down low, changing faucets, bath stuff, even kitchen countertops. the hardest part’s been disconnecting from my current apartment. maybe it’s jumping into the unknown vs the comfort of familiarity. this should be an adventure so i have to get into it but i’m watching myself resist!
but i do believe we get what we need, even messages. i found this on pinterest and it’s my mantra for the day. even though i’m not sure what it says, it so doesn’t matter since there’s plenty of clearing and closing to be done. hope you have a great day break through anything holding you back!
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; one life must die before we can enter another.

and at least a little bit of quiet time. i hope to have a little downtime too and will come by to visit. till then have great sunset and the start of a wonderful weekend!
that rainy day feeling
good morning everyone! i’m just stopping by to recalibrate. i haven’t had the time or inclination to touch my computer for a couple days, you know how it is, a simple yet debilitating case of OveRLoAd! but i daresay i’m back in full force. it’s a bit of a dismal morning but perfect to get up and out for an early road trip up north and back by noon. i just wanted to stop here first to wish you a sunshiny day whatever the weather! i’ll be back later with some good news. till then, have a great day!
austerity measures
good morning guys! i hope your day is off to a great start. i’ve been hearing so much about greece for the last few months that today i searched a few pics and remembered why i love it so much. it’s the perfect combination of simplicity and strength.
with what’s going on under my window i’m almost ready to move to an island! i wonder if it would help if we all vacationed there for the next few years?
anyway it’s becoming pretty austere here, most of my stuff is out and all that’s left is ironically the ikea furniture. i guess those pieces end up being staples, sort of like kakhis from the gap.
i finally like the way the furniture is laid out now that i’m leaving. it’s become a bit of a photo studio for the past couple weeks and the apartment hunt is still on.
all i really feel like doing is blog a little and read what you all have been up to. i did get a little ride of the wave last night and wanted to share some of the breadcrumbs left behind since a simple, positive theme kept showing up. i kept a couple of the links and am posting them before i head out. still trying to keep a shiny attitude, eat right, feel my heart beat and stay on top of work. i hope you enjoy a little morning sunshine and have a fantastique day!

ps to all my lovely friends who leave comments: wordpress has a ‘new’feature where you receive all comments on a post after you leave one. it’s a default that you manually have to select not to receive them so please check that out and uncheck it if you don’t want that! i’m trying to get them to remove it but have a feeling it’s going to take a few emails…
the foreseeable future
hi guys, happy wednesday! i’m finally home alone and it’s nice and quiet. what a luxury to sit and surf for a minute.
truth is i’ve been at it way too long and better call it quits or will never unplug. it’s been a fun ride and started with the shots above from a jason silva video that i didn’t use in yesterday’s post. he talks so much about concepts i love like other planes and telepathic communication so i googled ‘collective consciousness dreaming’ and stumbled on these sites:
withinsight.com/intuition and aboriginal art
and it was a long and winding road from there. so for now i’ll bid you adieu, i’m officially checking out now. happy dreaming!
thoughts in action
allo gang, how’s your night going? it’s pretty calm over here, just about to wind down. i thought it would be fun to pass along a great guy my own great guy passed on to me. have you heard of jason silva? he’s got a lot of vivid and articulate perspectives and the videos he makes and narrates are beyond beautiful. some are on his site others on youtube so i pulled a couple of my faves. hope you enjoy him as much as i do. have a great night!
chopping broccoli
hi guys, hope you’re winding down a good day. between stops i heard a lot of talk radio. one of the most interesting discussions was about the super benefits of broccoli. i love it, but whenever i see it at the grocery store i hesitate to get it. i think it’s cause i didn’t really know what to do with it. so i googled some ideas just now and thought i’d share them. most are kid approved and all can be scaled back to be super healthy. electrictreehouse.com/why-broccoli-rocks
if you’re a broccoli lover, enjoy!

almost like the real thing
good morning everyone! it’s bright and early, super quiet here and the perfect time to stop by before it gets crazy busy. here’s wishing you a happy monday and to start the week off fresh, a quick pic. when will computers have that darn scratch and sniff technology? oh well till then we’ll have tap into our imagination/memory banks. i hope we all can at least can stop for a sec to get a get nice deep breath and feel the soft petals too! ok i’m off, have a beautiful day!
happy mother’s day
good morning everyone and happy sunday, i hope you’re with the ones you love. mom, i wish i could be there there, having a cup of tea on the porch, reminiscing and making new plans. i’m happy today’s the day to tell you that you’re were the best mom i could ask for and that you’ve influenced everything in my life, in a good way! moms, your kids are watching your every move, enjoy your time together and happy mother’s day to everyone, whether you’re with her or not, she’s always with us!
starting fresh
good morning guys! happy weekend. it’s very quiet here and no one’s up. i hope to get back here within an hour or so but wanted to just do a quick post to obliterate yesterday’s and move onto something way more fabulous! till then, it’s a quick breakfast, so i’ll leave you with a couple pics for inspiration although i’ll probably end up with a smoothie and a banana in about 5 minutes. enjoy your morning!
and for those who still can eat whatever they want…enjoy it now! happy saturday!
