Inspiration!

Hello all,

I'm such a slacker... I've been meaning to share this blog post slash video with you for the longest. Even as we speak, I'm watching tv and still slacking a bit between writing sentences. :) I ran across this marvelous video while reading one of my favorite blogs. You know how it goes... your reading one post and they link to some other website and then when you check it out it leads you to some other link with a mind blowing post.

I have to tell you I'm one of those people that loved the book 'Eat, Pray, Love', by Liz Gilbert. Needless to say I was excited when I found this video originally posted on ted.com. So b/c I thought it was brilliant I am sharing it with you! If you're a creative person at all then you will Luh-ove this video!!! Whenever I start to doubt my abilities I watch this, and I feel ready to fight another day. So now go enjoy and be inspired.

Art and the City Gurl

Hello again!

New things have been occurring. (smile) The biggest thing is that I've now moved to 'The City'. I love it! Can I just tell you I've always wanted to be a city girl.....

You know what that means right? You get to go do City Gurl things like.....
Going to Ikea on a whim...
Trying quaint and/or hip new coffee houses and/or restaurants..
Go to art galleries and museums and the zoo...
Have fun dates in the park and really see people sitting on blankets smooching and guys playing football...
Have a glass of wine at sunset while you sit on your balcony talking to friends and wondering how it came to be that you were so lucky to find a place in the city...

Things like that! :) This happens to be my balcony.. In the City.. (wink) Never mind that I don't have any furniture out there yet or that all you see are trees. The city is lurking behind them not too far away.. The important thing here is what's sitting on the floor!


Yes my friends, its a canvas. I must point out that this is another City Gurl thing to do. You get to see so many inspirational things while riding around it kinda forces you to be creative. I took it old skool and got down on my hands and knees like I used to do when I was a kid and started working it out. The hardwood floors were no match for me that day! As a matter of fact I laughed in its face! Bwah hahahahahha! HA! I happen to finally be working on the 2nd piece in my 'Purple Haired Gurl' series. More pix to come soon.


I figured I'd entertain you with my first City Gurl Adventure... It happened at Woody's. Famous for none other than... You guessed it. The Philly cheese steak!

Meat..
Mayo...
Cheese....
Onions......

Need I really say more?? It was good. Very good.

I kinda invited myself to go with a co-struggler aka co-worker to :::in my superhero announcer voice::: 'CHEESE STEAK SATURDAY... DAY.. Day.. day..'
People were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Of course I was City Gurl chic that day. Sunglasses were mandatory. So were short sleeves and ice water. It was HOTT outside!!!

Many more adventures to come next week..

PEACE!
