Procrastination

Procrastination gets a bad wrap. It's always paired sitting next to negativity at the dinner party. At my dining table, Procrastination flirts with positivity all night long.

In my life, last minute thinking provokes spontaneity and resourcefulness in solving problems. Creativity paired with procrastination can blossom into a thousand colorful ideas and solutions.

Procrastination...extend him an invitation to your life just don't expect a prompt rsvp.

i wore...

I wore sequins to work today. I understand and am a firm believer that sequins are a after work hours garment embellishment, however this morning I decided I needed a little sparkle in my life.

erg...

I hate when I don't think about it,
because it makes me sad.
and then I don't do anything about it,
because then I have to think about it.

Mrs.Malibu and Mr.P.E.

So, I did this little illustration for an invitation to a going away party for two of my very good friends. And a little reflective poem:

lives move
horizontal and vertical
very fast and very slow
toward and away
of each other.
