My Blue Period

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

I’ve always been a bit of a late bloomer and never once have I referred to myself as an early adopter. Trends and . . . well . . . just about everything . . . need to grow on me–sometimes quite slowly–before they “take.”

That’s why I’m only now wearing blue nail polish. (more…)

The Power of Pretty

Friday, April 5th, 2013

chap 08Yesterday, I heard one of my favorite Jefferson Airplane songs—Pretty As You Feel—on the radio (yes, I listen to the radio), and I was struck by the simple truth of its lyrics:
