It is a cloudy wintry day in Minneapolis. And, on this last day of 2010, i leave you with this chewable thought:
"Life is ultimately a string of moments gathered into hours, days, weeks, months, and years. If, in a quiet moment, we ask ourselves what we really want for our children, and our answer has something to do with them being truly content throughout their lives, then one of the most important gifts we can offer them is the ability to be present, so they can experience all the joy and richness available to them. The sense of peace and fulfillment that comes from quietly and genuinely appreciateing each day may not come with a flashing neon sign, but it is our best bet that we're going to end up with a life full of deeply, fully, and passionately lived moments."

About Me
- ra
- Portland, Oregon
- I'm interested in creating things, lots of things. Whether that involves putting words on paper, blending them with images, creating outdoor spaces, painting with plants, assembling a costume, an experience, a dance, a dinner party, or simply creating a moment in time to remember. i met my husband in the year 2000. One of many amazing gifts that he has shared with me over the years is his ability to see and appreciate beauty in the most unexpected places. It reminds me of what's really important and keeps me grounded and present. i also like the idea of the combination of two seemingly incompatible elements, and the beauty that may well result.
