one.  books…..mati’s “daring adventure” just arrived!  the pages and photos are so amazingly happy and colorful. you know i love that. and i am just diving into alena’s  ”cultivating you creative life“. really excited to get started on her little prompts. and this. i have to order this book soon. i spotted caitlin on the morning show circuit this week. her british wit and charm had me cracking up and so this is on the wish list! “how to be a woman“.   can’t wait to read this one. (considering all the reads i need to got to, this one might end up as an audio download.)

two.  artists…. mab graves quirky, a little off-center girls have me giggling. the dragon dancers has my eye right now.  and this girl…..jenny wentworth - this girl is on a mission. to paint with misty mawn. i mean who wouldn’t love that. jenny is raising money to make this happen. and nothing makes me happier than a girl going after what she wants. i have hold much admiration for this chick. please head over and check out her story, her art and maybe even show her a little love with donation. (but that is totally up to you.) go get em’ jenny!

three.  a chat… today with the bryce about a dream i have had for a really long time. and while it can’t happen today, maybe not tomorrow, but oh yeah – baby in the future. for the first time i feel like i can make this happen. so dear universe, it is out there and with the help of my little elf who helps me with taming those ping pong balls, i have an idea of how to save my pennies. soon. i will share with you too.

four.  hair…i have conceded to the short locks for a bit longer. actually thinking about a pixie. and i have been trying out some new products. baby fine, thin (holy shit i am 47, is that hair i am loosing?) and product usage can just be a bitch somedays, but these are some new ones i am giving whirl. bed head. cute packaging, how could you not want to give these a try. the manipulator is an everyday friend. and…my new best friend, dry shampoo! holy moses why did it take me so long to try this!

five. food…we are still trying out new recipes off my pinterest board each week. next week i am going to work on this and this. and have you heard of gluten free girl? a life goal to eat more in line with this spot. love it over here.

six. jump…i have followed jessica swift for years. i love her work, her drive and her boots. on a whim i downloaded her ebook, jump.trust.repeat. i am really excited to dig in. i respect how she does things. if you are looking for new ways to treat your own business or if you are just starting, go over and get acquainted

seven. circles…happy to have each of you in the big circle that surrounds me. now go have yourself a happy happy weekend.

peace.
