Be inspired!

Every so often I become completely inspired and motivated to take on the world... It is through conversations with customers that get my brain overflowing with ideas and there never seems to be enough time to fulfill them so it is always baby steps for me. I enjoy talking with young children and want to inspire them to reach for the moon! Become a photographer full-time and travel to parts of the world that seemed so far away but after traveling to Egypt and South Africa are not anymore.

This morning I read an Op-Ed piece by Thomas L. Friedman and it made me realize how easy it is for all of us to be part of something and then let it go. We must keep the momentum going in our lives and others every day. I am always talking to other customers and friends about the lack of customer service and civility in New York City because of our addiction to technology.

Read the article and be inspired. Watch the movie, "Ten9Eight" and spread the word. It is time for us to be fearless, embrace inspiration and encourage others to create a better society of being polite, and being aware.

I am loving the bright Jean Rouget boxed sets of enclosures & flat cards in both the duplex style (two colors: one color on each side) and the assorted 40 boxed set.

This sky blue color is finding its way into card sets, the lacquer boxes and journals.

Wishing everyone a very happy & healthy 2010!
