a good question....

should i stay, or should i go? we have noticed these contradictory crossing signs around town, and

always take the opportunity to ask ourselves that very question. while first and foremost a safety issue, once you scurry across the road you can stop and ponder the implications in the duality of the message... and decide to stay, or decide to go... or decide to think about it... or not.

seen on day one of ramadhan 2009

we were hungry, fasting... never expected this to appear... timing is everything.

brooklyn flowers

spring is here, and these flowers burst into their glory early on our block. if they don't last the week, that's okay... they brought optimism and a breath of fresh air.

sunsets in paradise

is there anything, any vision at the end of a long day, that is more breath-taking than the sunset?

the colors and patterns created by mother nature and the Gods cannot be surpassed... these perfect twilights are a gift of Negril's seven mile beach, Jamaica.

unusual....

never seen any thing quite like this before, and these custom crayons caught my fancy as soon as i laid eyes on them! j'adore! definitely a work of ART!

LD knows how to flow....

when you are five years old, the world is your stage, your oyster, your playground. my darling daughter knows how to enter a room and get all eyes on her, for better or worse. one thing she does so well is KEEP TRYING. she's awesome cause she is FEARLESS. she has such potential.

it's okay to be....

it's good to be open to being wrong, to being hurt, to being alone. it's a blessing to have depth of feeling, to dig deep inside yourself where your fears lie just-barely dormant and your well of tears and tirades bubbles. to be a sponge is to absorb some of the best and the worst of humankind's follies, and foibles. don't deny yourself feelings.... immerse in them, wallow a bit then dust yourself OFF and spring forward.
