The Latest & Greatest (3.15.12)

There’s a gravity to the work I do. I often joke that my superpower is making people cry as it happens so often in my presence. And I love it. Not the tears, the work. A good friend calls it ‘swimming in the deep end.’ and that’s where I’m most happy – most of the time.

But today I just woke up with a levity coursing through me. Joyful for no reason.

Despite all the ugly beauty of my life (and of all of our lives), there was definite skip in my step upon waking and it hasn’t left me yet. So no deep wisdom today – just a few things that are lighting me up. Surely a few could change your life, but for the most part these are fun and frivolous finds du jour. Enjoy!

::::::::::::

1. ExOfficio Storm Logic Jacket (My Retreatshop travel armor); 2. Zoya nail polish in Carmen (Sexy toes); 3. Fluevog Intuit Boots (I love a pointy toe, though these are not fun to take off when going through airport security).

4. BKR water bottle in Fog (I talk, I hydrate); 5. Gaia Conceptions Cacoon Jacket (My power color)

6. Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey (Best movie I’ve seen in a long time)

7. Scooter (our new dog); 8. Laurie Wagner (Life Changer. Telling True Stories is coming!)

::::::::::::

What’s turning you on? What’s on your Favorite Things list-o-the-moment? Do you share my love of any of these finds? Isn’t Scooter the cutest dog ever?!

    Scooter rocks. My power color is gray. Preferably with feathers somewhere. You are one of my favorite things. Water colors on a big sheet of paper with my three year old or six year old or nine year old:: making art. Turkey Chili, tiny pinch of cinnamon and coriander. Believing that a unicorn could and just might one day offer me a ride on her back:: magic.

    Oh my goodness that dog is painfully adorable. I know another small cuddler who would love to meet Scooter…

    Turning me on lately : pale yellow daffodils doing their best, peanut brittle from See’s, the current obsession in our house for 70′s SoulTrain videos. Coveting a wrap like that one above, in my power color (raspberry).
