sexual harassment and you

autumn and a woman named george

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”
-George Eliot

in west philadelphia, born and raised....

maybe i'm just attached to Will Smith because I'm from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air generation. or, maybe this a sweet little flick that will make me laugh and make me cry.

shut up & sing

Who knew I was a fan of the Dixie Chicks?! We got home from the movie last night, and I immediately bought Taking the Long Way off iTunes! Hurray for courageous, thoughtful, talented women!!

Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business,
as if nothing had happened." - W. Churchill

zen

is Buddha Board the coolest thing ever invented?
pretty close.

















The Buddha Board philosophy is as follows:

"Buddha Board is based on the Zen concept of living in the moment. You simply paint on the surface with water and your creation will come to life in bold design. Then, as the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear leaving you with a clean slate and a clear mind - ready to create a whole new masterpiece."

It is meditative, soothing, completely forgiving ...and it's fun too!

Smooches to S&A for introducing this joy to my life!

kaki king
