This week I picked the warmest and sunniest day to make my way to Aurora Rose Boutique in Lemont and freshen up my inventory (look for the earring and pendant sets next time you’re there). It was nice to come out of hibernation and be inspired by the creativity of the other 40+ vendors who […]

“We each have gifts and we should explore them.†~ Flying for Hope Last week a few fired up ladies braved the cold to warm up to tea, entrepreneurial inspiration, and some ecochic shopping at NEW’s Tea Women and Wellness event. Our energetic attendees included holistic wellness experts, charity founders, storefront managers and technological innovators. […]
Right before Thanksgiving we had a new pie and coffee shop open in Evanston. On my first visit there hey didn’t offer pies by the slice yet, but their third month into the venture everything is operating smoothly and pies by the slice are abundant. Hoosier Mama Pie also offers mini-pies, which are going to […]

The good part was that I didn’t risk frostbite coming home, but Texas wasn’t too warm either. The nice part […]
Texans know how to put the X in Christmas. With no snow on the ground, many homes compensate with extra sparkle and very big garden decorations. I didn’t have my camera with me on our neighborhood Christmas light ride, but enjoyed the daytime look the next day. Texas ‘snow’ looks like this. Pickup trucks abound. […]
“But all the possibilities No limits just epiphanies” I love that line in the American Authors song I posted on January 1. It has so much promise and hope, along with the positive spin of learning lessons. Everything is an epiphany in some form, even what we don’t like to experience at the time. So […]
How about making 2014 the best year of our lives?
