My parents removed one of my favorite trees from the back yard. The before and after pictures are so strange to me! I’m so sad to see it go…

We planted that tree when it was just a tiny tree. And it grew and grew until it started causing foundation issues at the house. It is a shame to see it go…that bradford pear.

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up.

Today Luke blew me a kiss from the sidewalk across the street! It might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I bet I was in diapers the last time that I got this excited about someone blowing me a kiss. Whew! It’s a good day! 

we’re heading there soon.

I’ve been waiting for today all week long! It is my day off and I feel so incredibly happy!

I’m heading to the studio for a fresh batch of work—-and some time with my sweetie! It is beautiful outside. Today is nothing short of perfect. I hope your Sunday is the same.

While doing my normal internet surfing, I found this sweet little online shop, LEIF, based out of Brooklyn, NY. 

Some of the beautiful ceramic pieces instantly caught my eye. 

Pippin Drysdale’s ceramic work is truly perfect. The shape, the colors—I want my cupboard to be full of her work.
