It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

In a Class by itself….

So I took my advice from the other day and not only read for a while this weekend, but also received a small piece of self-indulgence in the mail… a gorgeous ring from Carolyn Koslen!! I must say there’s nothing like wearing original designs! Much like my experience with the Evil Kitty sweatshirt, I was...

So… I was wearing my Evil Kitty Hoodie the other day and was inundated with compliments! Thanks again Lidia! Any time I receive multiple compliments on something I feel its my duty to tell you… Especially since as you may know from previous posts, Evil Kitty is one of my all-time favorites. (I guess you...

(Do what makes you happy… or brighten someone else’s day… Vintage Stock Certificates for the I-Banker in your life, and Rizzo’s Original Fortune Teller) So… I was driving yesterday listening to Pitbull and the Ying Yang Twins “Shake” (yeah, it was that kind of day), when all of sudden I became annoyed by the incessant...

Adorneya and resolutions….

Ah yes, New Years resolutions. They’re like #9 on my list of things to do this week. Unfortunately, posting my random thoughts here is #7, which means that I should be up and running with those by the end of the week. Thanks for the e-mails, and I hope everyone had a great new years!...
