“Each item in a collection has its own story, its own memory—the search, the day you bought it, who you were with, the vacation…”
Tricia Guild (British Designer; 1946) & Elizabeth Wilhide (Author & Novelist)
“One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach, One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh (American Writer & Aviator; June 22nd, 1906 to February 7th, 2001)
“I know that I will be remembered as authentic and love possessed as BEing in my life in every moment allows me to suck every last drop of wonderfulness this life has offered each one of us as a gift. Snatch it and never let go!”

“Your possessions express your personality. Few things, including clothes, are more personal than your cherished ornaments. The pioneer women, who crossed a wild continent clutching their treasures to them, knew that a clock, a picture, a pair of candlesticks meant home, even in the wilderness.”
Good Housekeeping (August 1952)
“I believe our possessions can be very revealing, offering insights into our personalities in intimate and illuminating ways. I believe surrounding ourselves with objects that speak to our souls can bring us authentic moments of pleasure. But I do not believe our possessions define us. Instead, I believe it’s what you love that expresses the authentic woman you are, not what you own.”
“Today I wish for you, as I wish for myself, that when our authentic adventure comes to a close, we can also be remembered as being by love possessed.”

“I have not seen this original since it came out. I remember searching the TV Guide to see when this would be on next. I watch it now and have fond memories or laying on the living room floor staring up at the TV. Today it still has some pull, but I think this is the last time I watch this. I found myself getting bored during the almost 2-hour cartoon flick.”
Driving home, I spotted an Bald Eagle sitting on the weather pole in the middle of the I-90 bridge. In front of my car he dove off the pole and floated in a loop across the freeway to land again on the pole, just facing in the opposite direction, The up close wingspan was amazing. I am so blessed and in the “FLOW”.🦅
