A friend of mine got this for Christmas from his sister with this note on it. I love it on so many levels, I don’t know where to begin. The simplicity of the gift–handmade– a given. Those are ALWAYS the best gifts, from the heart and hand. The note is the best…perfectly hand written along [...]

Be Still

Be still the universe is telling me.
This great pause that makes me think too much, want too much, wiggle too much, talk too much, sleep too little. There’s a rock in my shoe waking me up with every step. Be still and see the gifts the universe is providing me to become. Walk on, explore, [...]
Finally! The First Snow!
Posted in Landscape, Minneapolis, My Life, What I see on December 22, 2006 | 2 Comments »

Allright already with the velcro and Timbuk2

Dropped this Timbuk 2 messenger bag and pulled up half of my burber carpet with it when I picked it up.
Note to self: avoid velcro. It eats sweaters, fabrics, carpets, pets, mittens, scarfs……and on and on but when I actually WANT it to hold together a purse, wallet or book bag it doesn’t hold. What’s [...]
