Obsession

Our new fav obsession: Game of Thrones. Oh my gosh I am amazed with how lovely the scenery is, the adorned costumes, and the epic fantasy story line. I especially heart Peter Drinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister. He is witty, dry, and fabulous. If you haven't seen or read these stories yet, you are in for a treat. 

Decor Time

Now that our painting is mostly done, I am on to decor. The living rom is my first canvas and I am thinking yellow stripes, blues, and light twill against the Himalayan Trek (gray) walls. 

Love me some golden stripes.

The reviews say this couch is comfy, we'll see today when I go test it out.

Of course I am drawn to this, navy is my fav and love all the shapes.

Juice Binge

If you need a little kickstart into a transition, a new way of thinking or feeling, or just a fun thing to do I  highly recommend the Dr. Oz Three-Day Detox Cleanse. Not only is it calorically adequate but it tastes pretty good, too. After three days of drinking nothing but juice (and holding back some pretty big cravings for quesadillas) I feel fabulous, light, and healthy. 

Finale of an Intellectual Journey

It has been a festive week with lots of toasting to the finale of an intellectual and reflective journey. The final class of my MPA program was last weekend and it couldn't of been a better ending. There were tears and smiles, reflections, stories of hardship and success, and even a little graduation ceremony.
It has been such a fruitful 18-months, in large because of the cohort and community we have developed,  the rigorous and progressive curriculum intended to stretch you mind to places you didn't know existed, the continuity and structure of classes and academia, and the world class leaders teaching and facilitating this growth.

Of course, like any ending the confusion and anxiousness of what next looms, sort of like wandering through the jungle without a sight line. I am excited to find my sight line though and know that this is not only the end of a journey but the beginning of a new chapter in my life.
