Love red in February

I bought a new red sweater.

Now I think I need a self portrait.

like Alina above or Marilyn below.

Heart on your scarf goes to "CREED" - Carol Reed Design.

Here is Carol's comment;

Oh I'm definitley a heart on my scarf girl! I rarely leave the house without one. This one is wonderful, wear the heart depicting all the things that you love wrapped up around your neck to keep your warm,,,,,or wear it draped loose for all to see - whatever your hearts desire!

congrats Carol

Hop on over to Carol's blog and get ready to fall in love with her finely honed aesthetic and artful restraint in designing for the home.

desire joy

Dedar from Bergdorf Goodman, NY

Did you know that if you desire joy in your life and you postpone that joy it can actually have serious side-affects? Desire can be a tremendous motivator, like a beautiful bright glow that pulls you in.

Jesu, joy of man's desiring

Holy wisdom, love most bright

Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring

Soar to uncreated light

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned

With the fire of life impassioned

Striving still to truth unknown

Soaring, dying round Thy throne

*goosebumps*

Think about this and really dwell on your deepest desires and resolve to set up a plan in order to achieve joy. It might be a "thing" or a "switch" in your life to bring about -- "goosebumps" or some sort of fire within, waiting to be released.

Last night I had the "joy" of meeting not one but two wonderfully creative women for dinner in New York City. We shared a lovely pot of Fondue! We agreed that our creativity is everything to do with desiring joy.
