Moonrise Kingdom

 "...even smart kids stick their fingers in electrical sockets sometimes."

{Bruce Willis as Captain Sharp}

"I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about."

{Jared Gilman as Sam Shakusky}

Moonrise Kingdom:
a film I will watch many times into the future, & still come away w/ something new every time
Magical. Subtle. Romantic. Humerus. Quirky. Authentic.


Cheers to 
the dysfunctional family plot line
infused w/
deadpan humor
suspension of disbelief
reasonable adolescents 
amongst unreasonable adults
w/ a well matched musical score.


Cheers to
another Wes Anderson triumph.

The Loveliness of the Modern World.

Chris is in Budapest today.

 He shared this photo.

His i-phone to my e-mail.

So he can be far but very close at the same time.

The loveliness of the modern world.

When it's Fifty Degrees...

in Chicago in January!

i love this time of year

The holiday season is in full gear.  Thanksgiving leftovers are devoured from fridges across the country. Christmas trees are decorated with tinsel and lights. Menorah's are placed on mantels. Resolutions of 2011 are evaluated for the creation of a new 2012 list. 

i love this time of year!

It's a time of hope and light. It's a time for the first dusting of snow. It's a time when heavy blankets are piled on my bed {making it harder to get up from the warmth  & comfort in the morning}. It's a time of hot chocolate, Home Alone, and Charlie Brown Christmas. It's a time for family. It's a time for friends. It's a time of late night evenings with red wine and spiked egg nog.

{did i mention, i love this time of year?}

i feel immensely grateful to lead the life i am.  A life of creature comforts. Loving faces. Travels and exploration. A life of dreams realized. A life of possibilities yet unknown.

Cheers & blessings to all this holiday season.

Life...

Picks to Ponder:

A weekly post featuring a few notable items I've found to be thought provoking, and/or a positive influence on my outlook on life. 

{Click here to see where it all started.}

On Relationships

This week I was honored to write a guest blog post on Story Wrought. My post addressed my decision to leave Alaska, and the importance of developing deep interpersonal relationships in my life.

The video below features world renowned yoga teacher John Friend discussing the impact deep long term relationships can have on our lives. His words echo my sentiments, and greatly inspires me.

On Lifestyle
The Shelby is a storytelling project created by Todd Shelby. The project works to share stories of creative interesting people {artists, writers, designers, etc.} through video and photographs. Below is a video featuring Rockaway Taco and its co-owener Andrew Field. Field's narrative is an example of living life unconventionally with great quality and meaning.

It is my hope, I can continually find ways to do the same.

{Note: The Shelby recently produced a video for Zara featuring Lucy Chadwick. The video has been quite popular among bloggers. Personally, I absolutely adore it and highly suggest checking it out.}
