There was a flicker of light where the ocean meets the sky and then that small flicker opened up to show a slit... Read more

Some mornings we jump out of bed and run out the door, throwing together our outfits in a flash, and not really thinking about it for the rest of the day. Other mornings we’re up (on time) but most of our time is spent hanging out in the closet trying to figure out what to wear.

I’ve always known that lotus flowers symbolize perseverance, having to grow through dark muddy waters to finally bask in the sunlight. The growth of the seedling is a symbol of overcoming struggle and a fierce determination. A concept we may all identify with at... Read more

As the year winds down, we gear up for the holidays. We shop, cook, wrap presents, bake, host and attend holiday parties, work events, and decorate the inside and outside of our homes. December is always a whirlwind of activity. Through it all we find ourselves with paper cuts from wrapping presents, flour in our hair, last minute RSVPs that make you re-jig the dinner table setting. And the dreaded mall parking... Read more

For anyone who's owned a dog, you know what the phrase "man's best friend" really means. I didn't know what it truly meant until I got a dog 4 and a half years ago. Her name is Penny. She's a 4 year old Shih Tzu with a lot of spunk. Like any dog she loves to play and knows exactly how to look at me to get me to play with her.

When I first got her one of the first things I was told... Read more
