Wherever one travels in the world or language spoken… Fundamental human needs; food, safety, shelter are quite universal. I think sex toys and snacks need to be added to the list… They too seem to be quite universal… “Desires”

Good night…Sweet dreams. XO

Midwest America celebrating our independence. Cultural diversity is the fabric of our country… A sea of color, various ethnic backgrounds, standing side by side… Freely celebrating …”liberty and justice for all…”

When something sparkly catches my eye. It was a small child dancing and twirling as she and het mother waited their turn in line.

As I am often known to do, I struck up a conversation with the mother about her daughters sparkly shoes. “Can you believe she is only two, picks out her own clothes and regularly goes to school in her pajamas and party shoes!” Wait a minute… I instantly fall in love with this child a kindred spirit to the fashion style “comfy-sparkle-glam.” After asking the mother if I could take a photo the wee one began to dance in circles, and jumping up and down. I am confident she was expressing, “I love shoes!!” Oh wait… Maybe those were my inner thoughts shouting in my head!

Shoes NEVER make you look old, too young, fat or tired!

As I watch this delighted child twirling in her floral printed dress, I can’t help buy wonder, at two, she is already doing “her thang,” who will she be at 22 ? And, what shoes will she be wearing?

Good night…Sweet dreams XO

The question BeBe the biker babe(owner of bike) asks herself when getting on her bike, “today… am I intelligent, talented, charming or hateful?? Choose!”

“Ballsy and courageous” came to mind as I sat on that sleek black leather seat and adjusted my sunglasses…a self-proclaimed adventure seeker hits the road…

When there is a story of silence, distance, miscommunication, joy, elation, confusion, fear, awe, it can be told if you want to see. We are amalgamated to other humans creating unbreakable connections and links that are most often obvious through family ties, community, jobs, beliefs. IMG_5866 Then there are those connections, a binding of invisible thread that can’t be explained, that bring two separate entities together…to merge, unite, meld, fuse, combine, secure, fasten…slowly slowly over time, quietly, year after year, patiently…creating something stronger than each entity, separate, individually.IMG_5864 The thread, for both is the serendipitous inspiration for strength, balance, growth….and….sometimes…silliness! The eyes of another can be the mirror reminding you who you are, when you forget. I will remind you…please remind me.

Good night…Sweet dreams… XO
