The world is an amazing place. The Economy finally caught up to me. Which means, it has directly affected me as of yesterday. However, as I told myself before, if it ever did that I can only go up from there. Following my dreams and my destiny is completely in my hands.
I went canoeing the other day and the dog jumped into the water from the boat. He figured out he could swim.

I returned from a visit to LA last week visiting friends & a new love I met 5 months ago in Seattle. I returned to Seattle with a great outlook on life which was positive, motivated & happy. This was crushed upon my return to work as I was lectured about my contributions & the state of the economy. This, along with the cold rain made for a tough week but I made it through. I keep going back to the memories I made in LA. These were made at the house my love designed. The back yard pool, jacuzzi, the wonderful shag carpet (wink) and the well thought out custom pieces for the interior along with the cabana to the all but not forgotten car port from HARS Design! The sunny days, shopping & dining out with attitude made for a great West Hollywood getaway!

Decor as a question of taste

As the President elect Barack Obama and the new first lady move into the White House early 2009 I expect fashion, art and design to take a new approach. The president has already inspired so many people in so many ways that the arts won't be exempt! It is almost 2009 and we are living in the future people used to talk about. We are nearly a decade into it which continues the course of exploration and boundries we push.

That said, the décor I most like currently is white interiors with pops of bright accent colors. Keeping a neutral sterile backdrop allows for endless play with color! I like clean straight lines with a touch of flair seen with lighting and texture found in art or sculpture. Furnishings that have a contemporary edge with a few
pieces noding to the past. Colors I like most are white, black, grey, yellow, pinks, greens, orange & blues.

I need to write this down before my idea of décor change with our new president!!!

10/14/08 tuesday

where to start. The elections. The stock market crash. The Corp bailouts. The money lending by usgov. to banks. The wild fires in southern California. The crazy client at work. The birthday coming up. The Duffy concert on Friday ("Distant Dreamer","Mercy"). Calling my sister again or grandmother. The biggest gas price decrease in a week ever (-$.33). The extra jetblue tickets being sold at the shopping district to select cities for cheap between 3:30-8pm. The info i was told that Iceland went bankrupt. Holloween costume. The debate on Oprah about organic herd raising or not.
We need more Philanthropist's!

been a while. Started a new job in mid July. Went to LA for a wedding for a guy I've known since 3rd grade. Met up with a german friend from Berlin. Traveled up the coast to san fran then flew back to Seattle. Also went to Portland or & Vancouver bc with germ friend. Continue job but have to move out tomorrow because of my dog- I caught my landlord in a lie about my dog- so who knows. I don't have an alibi. Have a fab new place to live but it needs cleaning after construction work, either way my friend helps me move in tomorrow- October 1. Got an I phone after I lost my razr in Hollywood. Oh yeah, I saw dolly Parton for the first time this summer too. Going to a fancy dinner with artisan and rep for an Eco fireplace (on top of moving 1 day mid week). Economy hits loss of over 700 points yesterday. Bush pleas for bail out by congress. Debates heat up with old man mcain and ripe Obama.

Happy Summer! As summer makes it's way in 2008 I think of all the positive things in life. However, I realize there are many struggles as well. As I have seen a person struggle with drug addiction, 2 people pass and two others who have gone through cancer in the past year I also know of a little girl only a year old too who struggles to hang onto life. Everyday I see the homeless on the street asking for a handout or a crippled person in a wheelchair. I have compassion for all of these people and their struggles as they help me to see that life is to be appreciated to its fullest extent. With that, staying positive and no matter what your situation, take a momment to take in the sweet air, leaves on the trees, the grass beneath your feet or look up to the sky for the beauty of clouds or lack thereof!
