once we step into a place of awareness, acknowledging the miracle that is this life, it becomes difficult to live small and mundane. it will surely be impossible to be without joy and wonder. if we embrace and live that truth, that every moment of our existence is a miracle, a privilege…life will take on a new vibrancy. like, high definition for the soul. and i’m into that.

pop music goodness: “Hey Love”, Quadron.

if you ever stop by my place and hear this blaring, just give it a minute before knocking, please. i’m most likely in full-on hair-flinging, super bouncy, heavy shoulder action dance routine mode and will need a second to gather myself before answering the door and pretending like i was writing pages while watching a Swedish pop music documentary on FUSE.

“You are asked now, by your country, and perhaps by your creator, to stand on one side or another. You are asked now to stand, not on a question of politics, not on a question of religion, not on a question of gay or straight. You are asked now to stand, on a question of…love. All you need do is stand, and let the tiny ember of love meet its own fate. You don’t have to help it, you don’t have it applaud it, you don’t have to fight for it. Just don’t put it out. Just don’t extinguish it. Because while it may at first look like that love is between two people you don’t know and you don’t understand and maybe you don’t even want to know…It is, in fact, the ember of your love, for your fellow person…” - Keith Olbermann

trust yourself. embrace the draw. follow the signs and intuitions. don’t be afraid of the abundance that lies on the other side of doing what you love.

happy birthday, Miriam Makeba!

i remember watching you on The Cosby Show many (many) years ago and thinking you were magic. some time after that i learned more about who you were and your significant contribution to music and civil rights. thank you for your service, your voice, and your light.

big shouts to Google for honoring “Mama Africa” on the homepage!

let’s face it. those candy hearts taste like shit, kill my teeth, and the messages are in serious need of a modern update. (no offense, Brach’s) so, using some simple love messages i’ve gathered over the years, i sketched these hearts. candy, card, and novelty companies, feel free to contact me regarding all design and re-branding inquiries. this first one’s free.

happy valentine’s day, folks!
