While Sitting our park taking in the beauty of our favorite park (Luther Burbank Park), we witnessed an eagle swoop down over the bench we sat in and fly out to the water. It circled the shallow water a few times and dove in to catch a fish. I’m so blessed and in the “FLOW”.🦅

#73 Everybody’s Talkin’ (Harry Nilsson) 👍🏼
Everybody’s talkin’ at me
I don’t hear a word they’re sayin’
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin’, starin’
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I’m goin’ where the sun keeps shinin’
Through the pourin’ rain
Goin’ where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin’ off of the northeast winds
Sailin’ on summer breeze
And skippin’ over the ocean like a stone
I’m goin’ where the sun keeps shinin’
Through the pourin’ rain
Goin’ where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin’ off of the northeast winds
Sailin’ on summer breeze
And skippin’ over the ocean like a stone
Everybody’s talkin’ at me

Affordable Splendor
“There never has been a house so bad that it couldn’t be made over into something worthwhile.”
Elsie De Wolfe (American Actress; December 20th, 1885 to July 12th, 1950)
“Today I would love to convince you that there is no room in your home that cannot be transformed by using fabric, paints, a saw, a hammer, nails, needle and thread, a sewing machine, glue, the amazing staple gun and your own imagination, time and energy.”
“The most important thing about decoration, is the fun of it. The fun of discovering a broken-down nothing and turning it into something…Best is to just charge ahead with confidence, enjoyment and a sharp pair of scissors for cutting corners.”
Dianna Phipps (Interior Designer & Philanthropist; February 22nd, 1936 to July 2024))
“I love reinventing spaces in my home by creating more beauty or efficiency. Our home is modest and loved.”
–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 213 to 215 of 501.
