I would like to take a moment to talk about blogging, friends and women. You see for as long i can remember friends that have been woman did not come easy, don't get me wrong i believe that i make a very good friend..but my willing to give, put things aside for others and my generosity for some reason ends up getting questioned..this has happened since i was a young girl. therefore i have always had friends that have been men in fact my best friends have always been boys. It took me a long while to understand. I have never been competive with woman, i actually don't understand it- i have been known to give my best ideas to woman saying to myself i will just come up with new ones...

okay so why i am writing this? it's because something is happening and it is because of blogging. i spoke about it before here, but more and more i realize what an amazing group of women i am getting to know. i am overwhelmed with happiness when i read comments of personal nature- the openness and generosity of time, advice and stories. Is it just me or something major has happened... somehow in the safety of our homes, studios, offices we are able to open up, listen and get inspired. I have met in amazing group of women yes that is you i am talking about.

one such person is Deb from Bon Bon Oiseau from the second she said hello on a comment i could not help but to take notice of how whole she lives her life, not only does she create beautiful things but she sees them, takes note of them, translates them in her daily life and then shares them with us. whether it is her comments or noticing a piece of laporte on her blog or an e-mail letting me in on her wonderful insights and thoughts or the lovely package i received last week..so lovely i could not open it right away. I am truly blessed to have her in my life- yes i can say that because what is amazing about this place, is that it is different ...outhere we cross each other in the street maybe or not we say hello but were stuck behind the physical..but here we start from the inside out..we almost immediately get to see the within then the rest follows...even with the last post about what makes you glow i thought that I would get some names of products but instead it was filled with the most beautiful inner beauty secrets of spirit, laughter, accomplishments and generosity! see how special you guys are!!!

the photographs above are from the lovely surprise package i recieved from deb.... I am in love with everything from the card(shoes), book( drooling), postcards and the necklace that is so beautiful( i have to admit i have wanted to take pictures of one her creations for along while) and now i have one of my own....


i want you to know how lucky i am to have you all in my life,
please know this always...

in living color

i miss our talks, our mochas, your crepes, your outfits, your smile,
your calming affect, our exploring, discovering, daydreaming...
i miss you...

the color in the lake and a healthy glow

I spent many hours this weekend exploring the forest. It is an amazing place. arriving at the lake i could not help but stare at all the leaves that floated just below the water line...so crisp i was tempted to join them. It got me thinking about natures cycle, then from there i started to think about our skin and hair. I thought it might be fun or better yet informative if everyone commented with a a beauty ritual or must have or a secret to everlasting youth:) but seriously the fall is when the skin begins to react differently.....just like the leaves in water look crisp and healthy- what makes you glow...
