this guy

is

amazing.

that is all.

hi-it's me again :)

(shot by little old me 2010)

i have a lot of things floating around in my head, so please, please don't judge me based on this post.

or at all, thank you very much! lol

let's start off with what i was watching on tv last night. know that i was falling asleep-- i have no channel it was on but it was something about SETI making contact with an E-T life form. i have to say this....

if *i* was an alien, knowing what i know about this world even JUST AS A HUMAN!, i would not plan to abduct such a race of control freak minded, power-struggler weenies. i would probably want to be left alone.

most likely, i would leave you alone and try to bide my time on a beach in maui, but again- that's me.

thank you for letting me tell you that, i had to get it off my chest. must have had a nightmare or something.

oh, other stuff in my head: travelling. reading. my research. my blog. the future of my blog.

question: should i continue on the way i have been, most honestly and regardless of critics? shall i warp this blog into something more 'professional' and therefore not me at all?

so many questions.

presently, i am simplifying my life and minimizing the clutter in my house. i wanted to say hi and inform you that me and my assistant are well-- right now, he is resting peacefully on my legs while i type this.

i am desperately craving coffee. i am desperately craving for the day that i submit this project and can get on with...other plans.

well, if you know me, you know what's going on. and if you don't, i tell you when you e-mail me- so thank you :)

how about this weather we've been having? i think it's awesome, and the cherry blossom trees around the corner have started to bloom. it's phenomenal. i love it!
of course, this has no affect on pup who has not moved since i've begun to type.

and typing i must do--back to it i go.

happy wednesday, dear ones :))

love love loveee

me and my best friend in '09

freaking awesome.
i'm sorry that i have been so vague- there has been so much activity going on in my neck of the woods that it's CRAZY!

i have been clocking in office hours trying to hit my deadlines- and most times, not even that feels like work. when i'm not in my office, i am re-planning it's layout, constantly working on these projects, and catching up with friends and loved ones.

i am truly, truly blessed and could not ask for anything more.

happy news:

• having beer at a brewery is the funnest thing ever!
• seeing friends over coffee, lunch, brunch, dinner or whatever it may be is flippin' awesome.
• i have so many books to catch up on after i am done with said projects, that I cannot wait to post my reviews.
• my projects are...

wait for it...

almost complete!! woooooooo!!

i have to get planning this huge things going on for 2012. i am seriously considering opening a p.r. agency at this point :))

hope y'all have a happy monday! and thank you for your kind words through e-mails and facebook :) 

more than i can chew?

hello, friends.

pup here...

keeping you company

while Mommy is singing and happily working on her lists.

see, a lot has been going on-- people coming by, likely to see me.

so, i'm happy, too.

i've heard and travelled with Mommy

with colleagues and to meetings and appointments- 

i have to say, she's a busy bee.

so i KNOW this constant hustle and bustle

lead her and my Daddy to all sorts of conversations--

and they are excited!

yeah, about me. it has to be about me.

then again, i always bite off more than i can chew. 

i think mommy is happy with me and

also, with more books in the works? 

new plans? 

about me or for ME?

my parents are so cool.

is there anything new

in your world?

how are you?

did you bring me a cookie?

woof,

pup

copycats vs. flattery

(taken from google images who took it from etsy.com. i don't own this.)

you've heard the saying:

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

well, that saying really bothers me.

probably because growing up,

my parents gave me every opportunity

to surround myself with art, culture, diversity

and love...

so i always wanted to be different,

and i was different...

and when everyone in high school was trying to copy each other...

i was still trying to be different.

maybe it was the rebellious side of me, maybe it was just blood...

but ugh, i wanted to be different.

and i was lucky enough to find amazing friends

who loved me for me!

because of this, i hated competition even though i knew most thrived on it.

me, i thrived on to-do lists from the moment i could write.

(my mama thought i was a reincarnated genius- or just a genius)

which leads me to my point-

you like what someone is wearing, writing, reading, doing

and you're friends with them and even if you're not

you wish them all the best,

because you like what they bought to your life.

and then you're hurt because sensitive, trusting you

gets duped by their nasty, though counterproductive to themselves only, nature.

they don't wish you the best.

they don't even wish themselves the best-

they think they're PERFECT and you're crazy

and then they copy you.

30 year old me says-

so be it.

y'all who do this are going to be crazy

with or without knowing me

so please don't know me.

make it your best effort to not know me.

i am honestly flattered,

that people out there

still succumb to copying (almost to the T)

leaders in their field/convictions/community, etc.

and people who are original in everything they do--

it shows who is weak.

it's the way of the world.

so,

go about your merry days--

and copy, imitate away!!

quote saturday

quote taken from twilight: eclipse

“This wasn’t a choice between you and Jacob—it was a choice between who I should be and who I am. I’ve always felt out of step—like, literally stumbling through my life—I’ve never felt normal, because I’m not normal. I don’t want to be. I’ve had to face death, and loss, and pain in your world but I’ve also never felt stronger—like, more real; more myself—because it’s my world, too. It’s where I belong.”


'cuz that's how i felt before i got married, too ;)

the little soap shop

since i was born, i knew that my family was awesome...

that my life would be awesome because of them.

so my life kept bringing in the awesome and weeding out the nasties...

much like knowledge and information and everything organic does

for ourselves, our psyches, everything.

enter, the little soap shop.

um, hello?

flippin' awesome.

you can see the linky at the side

of my page

to the right.

the store's owner and creator of all organic soaps and such,

is magic in and of herself

and as surely as i knew about my writing from very young,

she knew that she also had a craft--

which clearly shows

in her Practical Magic-y shop.

love love love!

needless to say,

i shopped.

for now--

because LML snatched up the goodies

and firmly stated

that it belonged to him.

her products do wonders for the body

and smell so,

so good.

and it's good for you!!

so click the link,

and happy shopping!!

love me,

the globetrotting gamine

going the extra mile

i have been in meetings and appointments all week.
it's looking like my schedule won't slow down for quite a while,
but i am exhausted and happy.

there is so much that i have to do,
before celebrating events with my friends-
and before planning so many more events
that it's really just exhausting to think about.

on a happy note-
this weather has been amazing, and has been keeping me out and about.
have you guys done anything out of the ordinary or interesting?

oh yeah--
i have! i have! lol...

and of course, it involves food--
and, of course-
there are no pictures...
because we "eated it".

we went to a place on my bucket list of restaurants-
called waterzooi.

i was so excited--
so LML and I get there with some friends, get seated immediately...
and probably scared our poor waitress with the amount of food and drinks we ordered--
and honestly, we did go overboard but it was worth it.

what do i describe as overboard?
well, we were all getting a little warm- it was warm in there until we believe they turned on the air
(probably because of us heathen)
and before that half of us took turns going outside
to get air...

so we've decided...
we love you waterzooi-
but next time, we're just enjoying your incredible beer selections!!

love love love

so keep dreaming,
and i'll see you around, bloggie friends...
probably at a coffee shop,
with a notebook, and my medusa- like hair sans snakes.

why blog?

why blog?

what's the point really, you think to yourself as you begin to type. is anyone going to read it?

will people enjoy it?

am i going to sell my soul to get more followers?

the truth is, even when i first started blogging

(was it august 2009 or 2010? who knows...)

i wanted to do it for me, not for the fame.

my reasons were this:

• crazy turmoil from circumstances that couldn't be helped at the time (and now i am so thankful for!)
• the inane urge to document everything- which i'd been doing in journals for years
• finally making contact with people who were more like me- something i'd never experienced til that fateful day
• writing- it was always in my blood, and blogging got the juices flowing. it was the clearest time of the day when i was writing.

now i wonder-

who blogs other than creative types like me?

is blogging more influential for people to receive job offers and opportunities?

(it works for some people, truth be told--i am one of them but not to the

extent of others opportunities...it's still amazing!)

my entire life literally changed for the better

upon having a blog.

i have met so many amazing people,

been given so many opportunities...

but even more so, the insights i actually gave myself

have been invaluable.

what a crazy world we live in

when your craft

can transform your life

and fill it with magic.

will i ever rename, change,

give up on this blog?

why?

it's an extension of me.

professional, unprofessional,

way too complicated,

not caring if people like it or me or not...

too many pictures, ideas, memories?

i blog for me.

why would i change myself?

or my blog, for that matter ;)

hope y'all feel the same about your own blogging/writing experiences!
