Bliss

Ever meet someone and within seconds you know this is a relationship that will be a part of your life forever?

One of my girlfriends and I are just those people and she's been in a relationship that mimics that of our friendship.  Ups and downs, tears and laughter, understanding and love.

This dear friend of mine recently married for the first time and she's over 50 years young. 

This couple was the Oprah before Stedman and the Goldie before Kirk.  They have 6 wonderful children and now in their prime have decided now is the time to tie the knot.

I'm inspired by her openness to life and always knowing happiness is about people not things.

Finding ones Bliss comes in many forms...the key is when you find it, to pause and take notice.

Music Uninhibited

                                     Janelle Monae photo from gladitsnight.com

i love the beauty that unique expression brings....the freedom of being oneself and celebrating individuality is Smokin' to me.

It's so easy to follow the pack and unfortunately too many of the most talented artists go overlooked because the masses simply do not know they exist.

Janelle Monae sounds to me like what being uninhibited feels like.  Conscious, relevant, thought provoking.  My current fav is Sincerely Jane.  She is an amazin talent.  Check out Metropolis. She has just been added to my Bucket List.

Beating the Chill

What a fantastic way to beat the chill.  I absolutely love this scarf. . . The word scarf actually does not do this justice.  I prefer to call it A Dreamy Orange Neck Hug.

It's part of a give away.  Please visit Whisper of the Muse blog, but by all means DO NOT ENTER THE GIVEAWAY because I must have this.

Did I also mention that orange is my favorite color!

Although a native Californian where I enjoyed going to the beach and snow within the same day, there is something so wonderfully beautiful about the sense of calm and artful skies here in Arizona, especially when it rains here.  It enlivens my creative energy... it speaks to my uninhibitedspirit.
