Mantra


Only 5 days to go until Surtex. This simple message is keeping me going.

Up and at 'em...

I've been trying something new, exercising in the morning instead of the evening. It's really nice to get up and at 'em first thing in the morning, the light is so pretty, and everything is quiet. The added bonus is getting all of that oxygen and blood circulating really helps with ideas. I've always known I'm not a night owl, but now I'm starting to think I might actually be a morning bird.

Dance of the Inner Child

I discovered this on Boho Girl's Blog today. The woman in this video knows a very important secret about life. A secret I never want to forget.

Go with the flow

You can't force creative ideas. Ideas come from a calm mind. My favorite way to calm my mind is exercise, and my favorite new form of exercise is Nia. Nia is a "body-mind-spirit fitness and lifestyle practice." I started taking Nia classes 6 months ago. The first class was definitely a little intimidating (free form dancing brings up all kinds of feelings). "Am I doing it right? Do I look silly?" But if you just let go, if you just go with the flow, you leave class calm, energized, and brimming with ideas.

Sugarplum Dreams

I would love to take a nap right now, but there is still so much to do. Posters to order and portfolios to put together, not to mention finishing up some of our latest Holiday designs. It'll be a weekend of Santa, snowmen, polar bear, and penguins. And then hopefully at the end of the day, Sugarplum Dreams.
