rethink

today is it. are you living your life? with passion, conviction, and pure joy? what about love? do you seek it out? do you believe and soak it in? take the time now to breathe and wonder and feel and rethink your life. your dreams. you.

speed cleaning

One of the things I hate most about doing laundry is actually putting it away. Because of this, I always end up with massive, up to my knee-sized piles of clean clothes on my floor. With the weather being as gorgeous as it has been lately, who wants to stay inside and clean anyway? Tonight, I decided I'd turn on the radio, open up the windows and get my life organized a little bit (or, it always feels that way once I clean my room at least). Cleaning felt like a breeze! Cozying up now with a cup of chamomile tea. I love this spring weather that is warm enough to wear shorts and a comfy worn- in sweatshirt, yet still be cool enough to sip a comforting hot mug of tea.

On Imagination...

You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?' -George Bernard Shaw

COLOR THEORY

Color has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold on me forever. - Paul Klee

My path, ever golden, follows the sun.

I love that spring has transformed my room into an more sunlit place. My plants all seem happier. With the days growing longer, dinner seems to be eaten later, and after work activities seem to linger into the later evening hours.

After dinner walks are possible, and dreaming of sleeping with the window open is now within reach. I have to say too, that even though I'm preaching about the sun, I can't wait for all the April showers- is there really anything comparable to falling asleep to a nice thunderstorm?

This time of yearabsolutely thrills me too because I can now leave the house in the morning with a light jacket, or no jacket at all. I can wear heels and open-toed shoes straight from my house, to my car and all the way through the vast parking lot in the morning (instead of having to wear boots to keep me dry and warm during the treck from my car to the front door of the building) So long, Uggs. I love you, but you're being shoved to the back of the closet for now.

spring! happy easter.

Hope your Easter was filled with sunshine, friends and family. Xo
