fun life
With the money we made from selling our shares, we bought a home base in new york, where my family lived.
but we decided to travel.
go on vacations once a month.
all around the world.
we both had never traveled much and when we started out we both thought we were shy anxious people.
i think we were….
but as we swam with fish
and surfed with seals
ran from storms chasing us...
Spring Morning by A.A Milne
Spring Morning by A. A. Milne Where am I going? I don’t quite know. Down to the stream where the king-cups grow- Up on the hill where the pine-trees blow- Anywhere, anywhere. I don’t know. Where am I going? The clouds sail by, Little ones, baby ones, over the sky. Where am I going? The shadows pass, Little ones, baby ones, over the grass. If you were a cloud, and sailed up there,...
to me you are beautiful, smart and kind

coming home
I couldn’t take any more school that day, so I snuck out during chorus and ran home. it started raining and when i got home i was soaked. my wonderful mother made me a grilled cheese and comforted me while i cried. then i felt better and we watched Gilmore Girls together. school is so horrid.

"sometimes it's not you" by sarah eckel →
this is the latest modern love column. it is great. this is something i think too and it is great to hear someone say it. if you haven’t found love it doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you like not loving yourself enough or not having it together enough or not being attractive and positive enough like self help books say. it just means you haven’t found the right person...
be good little girl

Review of S Factor's Shiela Kelley's talk The Pole...
The other day I went to hear Sheila Kelly founder of S Factor speak.
it was a really fantastic talk.
she was an amazing speaker. So “herself”. She was very warm and welcomed late comers. She showed embarrassing pictures of herself and told very personal stories. she moved her arms and hair a lot and was very natural and expressive. she reminded me of a teenage girl, very feminine....
one day
for much of my life
i felt very much alone
one day when i was feeling quite low i got a package in the mail.
i thought it was the shoes i had ordered.
but it was actually a live seed wrapped up in damp newspaper with a note attached.
reprinted here for the first time:
you are a seed who has yet to “germinate”. you are a soul who has yet to fulfill your “destiny”....

Briefly Speaking
i had some thoughts.
i want to live in the country and have an enormous garden. the city is not for me.
i got this idea from martha stewart. her blog is so educational. every day she goes out and observes all the new developments going on with the incredibly variety of plants at her farm. she has brought all the plants and beautiful natural occurences of the world to her fingertips. today...
inspirational quote of the day
But now, I just don’t get the point of being embarrassed. I don’t see why I should allow someone to walk all over me because I’m not society’s dream girl.
a quote that somehow puts this old concept in a great way that makes great sense.
