by obsession of fruitlessly tearing out images from magazines only to have them hidden away in pretty boxes on dusty shelves has been replaced by my new addiction of scouring blogs and websites to post pretty images and cool ideas and quotes that speak to me neatly and orderly on virtual bulletin boards. 
brilliant.  what i love most about it is in one simple act of pinning, you can...
discover yourself.  uncover others.  cover everything in one place.

let it snow. let it snow. let it snow.

my comfy home...

begins with warm colors.  inside the front door, a soothing combination of textured sage green walls and wheat colored dried flowers eases you into our rustic home, where "come as you are" is always embraced.  be natural.  it suits you best.

roll with the tide.

it's been a long winter.  too long, with sleepless nights and stressful days as i contemplated my next move for  my "real job".  i decided to "roll with the tide".  inspired by the hilarious espn commercial "roll tide" which would stop all six of us dead in our tracks to watch it when it came on, i squashed my need to have an answer IMMEDIATELY and waited.  and waited.  and then my tide rolled in.  and now life is back on track.  and i'm hoping to embrace the "roll with the tide" in all aspects of my life.  afterall, if a fragile shell can survive the ebbs and flows of the churning seas, so can i.  and in due time, land peacefully on the shore.

shine on.

one of my favorite get-me-moving songs is "this little light of mine, i'm gonna let it shine."  especially when the boss - my man bruce springsteen - performs it.  how easy it is to let your little light shine when you are surrounded by the people who and the settings which breathe life into you.  it's the quiet moments where your  little light can shine brightest.  serenely tablescaping the christmas table, i sang this song quietly to myself.  and reminded myself that ultimately, the glow you cast comes from within.

at my happpiest.

sleeping in.  old levi's with festive patches (my kids call them clown pants).  scuffed up, tough-girl, comfy boots.  beach cruiser with front and back baskets.  rustic setting:  urban, rural or coastal.  and a scarf.
peace out.  no pout.
