Invest In: Quality Time

Value You

Do you ever toot your own horn, and then almost immediately panic – as if what you’ve done might not have been such a good idea?

Discoveries

I’ve been flipping through Barbara Sher’s Wishcraft, since I’d heard about the book from Hayden, of Through the Illusion.   The point of Wishcraft is for the reader to discover who they truly are, where they truly want to be, and how to get there.   Last night, I stumbled upon a fun little exercise that Related posts:

The Inevitable

Fall has come, once again, reminding us that everything green and supple must come to an end; summer is over, and the long push of the colder months brings boots, berets and backpacks as people of all ages go back to school. Many of you, dear readers, have already finished your scholarly course.  Still, many of Related posts:

Work Your Passion

Slowly, you are gravitating towards doing what you love for a living. As you read this statement you’re probably thinking about your day job and what you do, and the implications of why you’re not doing what you love. I ask you: What do you do out of love, and what do you do out Related posts:

Blogging: Believe in You

This is my note to writers – as a writer we all go through periods of serious blasé when it comes to cranking out material. There’s no reason to fault yourself for this – part of creating is the ebb and flow of creative process. It can’t come to you all the time, Related posts:

Wholestyle Manifesto

Your personal style is made up of so many more factors than what you wear, how you dress, or what color your hair is that day.  While talking about this, Jaka – from Jaka’s Tea Party – and I drafted up an idea of wholestyle.  Jaka wrote it out and it ended up like this: ========= The Related posts:

Things to do Before Summer Ends

It is now August, and it seems like that’s when we start to remember the coming of Fall.  Each year, Nature closes in on itself, leaves drop, and the Earth goes into hibernation.  For the citizens of the Emerald City, it seems eminent and somewhat immediate.  The temperature has dropped about 10 degrees and the Related posts:

Thoughts on “Fame”

It’s not every day that one sees the hard work and the real-life story behind people whose name has become a buzzword.  To me, this fact is primarily why I’m constantly amazed by how people view the famous and infamous.

June 18th at the Triple Door – Scarlet Room!

I heard this band at my friend Jason’s Puzzle Party and was THOROUGHLY impressed.  Imagine yourself as Alice, falling into Wonderland as images of toothy grins and Cheshire cats, formed of smoke, go flying by.  To have Scarlet Room at the Puzzle Party was befitting of their music, and I have a feeling their show Related posts:

She stood on stage in front of the crowd packed into the Showbox and told us – we all want to do something amazing.  We all want to get there, have it, be it and live it out, but what we don’t always realize is that we are it, we have it, we live it Related posts:

Nothing says “New and Improved” …

I had a conversation recently that really made me think about the evolution of my style.  It came from the topic of “office-appropriate” dress, and I’ve worked in enough different office environments to feel like I’m fairly experienced in appropriate attire.  It’s amazing how much my work setting has affected the evolution of my Related posts:

Manufacturers’ scheisty practices

Recently, it’s come to my attention that a lot of giant popular retailers are a little scheisty! Forever 21, who also owns Heritage 1981, and Twelve by Twelve had suits brought against them in cases of sweatshop labor. Popular Retailer American Apparel has had many sexual harassment lawsuits brought against them. Urban Outfitters has been criticized for sweatshop Related posts:
