Peach Rose

Been in a bit of a rut and missing Mom and Dad lately. Holidays are coming, they bring laughter and joy, but along with that, some sadness. Time goes by and things get better but it still seems like just yesterday. This beautiful peach rose was given to me from my sweet Jimmy, as a representation that he is here for me. Then I realize, I am still one lucky girl.

Peace & Love,

Wool and the Gang Knitting Party

Knit in Peace,

Small Business Saturday 11.26.11



We all know the holidays are just around the corner as well as, the ever so dreadful Black Friday. Instead of becoming a maniac just to save a few bucks, why not try and help save your local neighborhood businesses or your favorite shop. The holidays are all about giving to others right? Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. On November 26, make a pledge to shop small on Small Business Saturday. If millions of people shop small, it will be huge. You can help with just one small purchase! Be part of the change!

Peace & Love,

Allison Harvard.

I have to admit, I watch "America's Next Top Model" and I enjoy it. Blah, I said it, it's out there for the world to know. I'm not a super fan or anything and rarely will I post about anything Tyra Banks related, but the last episode was definitely noteworthy. The contestants were all asked to write a song, record it, and then create a music video. The beats were actually on point and flowed well with each girls "brand". My favorite one, by far, was by Allison Harvard. As my recent studies have shown, she is now a fellow Brooklynite. Allison's father past away last year and this song was dedicated to him and was very sentimental to her. This video spoke to me for that reason. It relates to my story so closely that it feels as if I wrote it. I commend her for her strength to go forward and reveal her inner emotions to the world. She looks stunning and her eyes radiate through the camera. Only thing I would cut is the ridiculous Tyra skit and "pot ledom" bullshit. She is out of her fuckin' mind.. So stupid.

These photos are absolutely incredible, just sayin'....

Peace & Love,
