Inspiration

"Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant.  There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks." -Johann Gottfried Von Herder

Here are a few shots I took of the lamp hanging above our dining room table.

Happy Weekend!

A Dis Adventure

Last month I visited my very dear friend in Los Angeles and we had a grand time visiting Disneyland, decorating her new (adorable) apartment, having an all-day marathon of Amazing Race, and laughing to our heart's content!

Athens, Greece [Honeymoon Part One]

Let's go to Athens!  James and I began our honeymoon in Greece and we had an absolute blast seeing all the sights, savoring the food, and enjoying each others' company!


Here are some highlights:

Tuesday Tune

"Love is on Our Side" by the Frank Popp Emsemble is the perfect number to ring in the new year!  This tune was actually playing as James and I were announced at our wedding.  It's such a fun, upbeat, exciting song!

Beginnings

"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.  That will be the beginning."
-Louis L'Amour

A Challenge Accepted!

Another new year!  And new beginnings.  I don't care how cliched it is but there is no bigger beginning than the start of a new year.  I'm all about schedules and timing and the OCD girl inside of me loves starting things at the "beginning".


So, here goes.

I am promising myself to take part in Whole Living's 28-Day Action Plan Challenge!  I've already signed up for the daily challenges that will be emailed to me every morning throughout the month.  This journey is all about becoming healthier and cleansing toxins that have crept in throughout the year!

Having a community support system (albeit online) is so comforting to me as I embark on this journey.  This is a challenge and something I haven't tried before - a cleanse diet!  I realize there is always room to becoming a healthier, happier person and I'd like to take a more active approach to achieving my health and wellness goals.

My dear blog will be the perfect ear for when my frustrations and temptations creep back!

Tomorrow is Day One!

One-One-Eleven

And just like that.... we have embarked on a new adventure!  


Welcome, 2011.
