The writing is on the wall

I heart ART MUSEUMS and I seriously cannot get enough of them! Whether a vintage art poster, splats on the wall or a beautiful Warhol of Jackie Kennedy, it's a true addiction for a visually intensive person-like moi! While in Chicago this past weekend, I had to check out their 

Museum of Contemporary Art. It was amazing and many of the pieces were quirky, some made you pensive and others were interactive, allowing you to: touch, take or turn the page! What I valued most though, were not just the colorful paintings but the writing on the walls...check out the pics-they speak for themselves!

Loved Chicago,

Giving from the HEART

When searching for a great volunteer opportunity, I somehow stumbled upon this wonderfully empowering website called 

Women in Progress (www.womeninprogress.com). 

What an AMAZING organization! Volunteers fly to Africa to help women entrepreneur's learn basic computer skills, develop business plans and learn financial management. Many have incredible artistic ability and just need a little extra creative support...how wonderful! Although you have to pay your own way for this program, proceeds go directly to services for the women. That in itself is worth EVERY penny! Go find your inner philanthropist,  travel afar and help women create the reality of their dreams!

Be grateful!

Going "Back to basics," truly means understanding what to value and cherish while present in this world. The small, sweet actions you take in this chaotic world as a gorgeous, professional and strong woman give insight  to your amazing character.....Be classy and make an impression on someone...          

KEEP "THANK YOU" CARDS  OR (EVEN CUTER) MONOGRAMMED CARDS IN YOUR PURSE, OFFICE OR CAR TO REMIND YOURSELF TO SEND OFF when needed! 

There is always a reason to say thank you to someone whether you just received a beautiful gift for your b-day, received help on your grad school application or were supported in your new life venture by a friend...this will bring sunshine to someone's day and make them feel wonderful...so, send a note and 

BE GRATEFUL!

Happy 3rd Day of Spring!!

Despite it being a sunny yet cold winter, the first days of spring have not been filled with blooming flowers, clear skies and sunshine. In fact, we, people here in So Cal,  have had to break out the turtlenecks, trench coats and umbrella- we stored prematurely- over the weekend. Spring must have a Winter cough because she was all gray, emotionally windy and crying a river on Sunday. So, if you are like me, and need a few rainy Spring items to cheer your closet up, check out some of my rainy day item must haves. Let me know your rainy day must haves.
