I love how every new creation starts with a simple thought, idea, amusement in our mind. The terrific folks at the Paul Mitchell School in Atlanta helped with my physical transformation....and there is so much more to come. Special thanks to Tracy DeSimone and her TALENTED students for their enthusiasm for our new projects [...]
It bares...bears....beeeairs...... repeating.... 'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders [...]
We're all quick to judge, certainly at times. I find myself tucked under a blanket this cool, LOVELY May morning...listening to the sounds in my back forest, activity under cover of green, always exciting, fresh, new, settling to me. I yesterday worked with my favorite healer/massage therapist, Janice Davy. Her combination of disciplines ALWAYS leaves [...]
Where have I been??? Not just Italy...but new places in my mind, my heart....a switch has flipped....oh grateful me. Grateful me! I wrote last week: Dinner at Susan's Villa...with Lulu...creating opportunities! I find myself, thankfully, in the heart of the Umbria region of Italy, in the small town of Sismano.....overlooking a hillside [...]
Rise from the very beliefs, habits, associations, which hold us back from our true desires and potential. Might nature guide us back to the places where we feel most alive? Might sitting with our breath awhile remind us of other places we might arrive within ourselves? I have felt over the last weeks the pull [...]
And sometimes a new hairdo will do it too. And a trip to Italy to just shake things up a bit.
It's been a (relatively) long wait. For many things. This day I'm speaking of the timing for the synergies between my Lulu friend and I, to begin creating together in earnest. We're headed to Italy the end of this month to visit with my friend and other potential allie in all things creative (and business), [...]
I began this week vetching (maybe) about what I perceive as authenticity and struggle. I am working through coaxing the first to emerge within myself organically, (yes, in a culture less accepting of differences) and I'm sitting this morning, (with gorgeous dogwood trees, my favorite, just outside my window), considering the true gifts around what [...]
I am thinking of two things this evening... 1. that the way we handle hardship defines us AND 2. authenticity and the originality and truthfulness of it. Re-reading the last sounds silly. But hang with me a moment. Our culture, each of us is so tainted by tv, culture, the media, family, schools, religion. Cliches [...]
It's true. I have a new chef at my venue Carl House. His food....oh Lordy....his creations are rocking my culinary world. And I soooo love to be surprised. Tonight, I popped in to see how our event, a gorgeous wedding, was going on. We've certainly served polenta cakes before....but Terrell's were something from an alternate [...]
