pardon our progress...

friends.

i've missed you so!
squatter's manse is all packed up & i'm at the beach with my girls for a few days while our stuff makes its way across the country to sunny socal. 
as of next tuesday, i'll be the judge of whether the west coast is in fact, the best coast.
anyway. 
all this moving and traveling has got me thinking about new beginnings.

fresh starts.

you know when you start a new job or a new relationship,

move to a new city (hiooooh!),

start a new school year (sharpen your pencils and clean out your trapper keepers, y'all!),

get married or have a baby, or

begin a new diet and exercise plan (this time its gonna be different, i swear!...she wrote, while eating the last of the chocolate-dipped madelines)?

so often these new beginnings making promises we know we'll never keep.

to ourselves.

and that's no way to live.

if you can't trust yourself, who can you trust, i ask you?!

we all have the best of intentions, we really do.

at least i do.

most of the time i live up to the expectations i set for myself.

but who am i kidding?

i expect a lot.

just ask the voices in my head.

anyway.

there are some changes a comin' with this little blog...but we'll talk about that later.

when i have time.

*honesty*

there are some changes a comin' in my life, and i thought tonight i would share some images from my inspiration file; those that ignite the fire inside, driving me to live a more purposeful, meaningful, focused life.

there are undoubtedly failures to come as well, but so often, i find, the lessons are just as delicious as the act itself.

if not more.

here's hoping its not another (long!) week til we talk again.
