fonda nolita-4Today is a good day, friends. It’s Friday and I leave to go back to Michigan tomorrow morning for an exclusive visit just to celebrate my mom and all she’s done for me. Another reason to be happy: todayfeels like May – sunny and 65 degrees for once! And despite an impromptu outfit change at the last second [the result of a bad incident involving sour milk in an iced coffee that wound up on my white blouse] I am loving my outfit today, which always makes my day more upbeat. And I found a new album to fall in love with. And I’ve drafted four poems since Monday, one of which I posted yesterday. And I have a new idea for a weekly post that I will be implementing sometime over the weekend or next week.

For now, I’ll leave you with links to some posts that fueled some creative sparks for me this week:
I love magnolia blossoms. Gorgeous photo above found here.
Some really important thoughts on creativity: A creator doesn’t just talk about their work. They work. [I struggle with this issue daily.]
I sometimes feel this way, too.
I’ve posted this sweet wallpaper on my desktop as a reminder: to worry is a waste of time, energy and resources.
Further proof of those eight steps: Jessica has been style-blogging for four years now, but it’s been a long process of growth. See the evolution of her personal style and blogging here.
And a beautiful depiction of life’s complex symmetries found here. I dare you not to tear up.
