“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
i recently discovered yoga. and what an amazing discovery it has been! i can honestly say that i’m hooked. i look forward to my yoga days each and every week. i guess you can say with the hustle and bustle of life, taking an hour and half out of your day to just let go is absolute bliss for me. i find that i’m more calm and centered after each class and have discovered the most amazing sleep i’ve had in years!
yesterday night i tried out a new class and the instructor read us a passage from something she came across this week during one of our cool down poses and it absolutely moved me. hope you enjoy these words as much as i do…
a quote from Esther Abraham-Hicks:
“All is well, and you will never get it done. Life is supposed to be fun. No one is taking score of any kind, and if you will stop taking score so much, you will feel a whole lot better – and as you feel a whole lot better, more of the things that you want right now will flow to you. You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete – and you never can be. This incomplete place that you stand is the best place that you could be. You are right on track, right on schedule. Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun!”
*image above was taken by me back in 2005 when i was in costa rica (sunset over the arenal lake). it’s one of my favorite captured “right here, right now” moments.

i always get so giddy when a themed party is executed so well, and that is exactly what happened when i saw christine chang’s blog today! christine posted a few pics from her mom’s surprise birthday party, that i had the honor of designing invitations for, and i MUST give props to her and her sister, Crystal, for doing such a FABULOUS job!
with spring in full effect so is my mom’s rose garden. take a look at this beautiful bouquet of fresh roses straight from my mom’s garden and into my studio office. i was smelling roses all week long!
