Goal setting...

You are always told to write your goals down.

I figure, what a better place than this...

Goals-

1a) Forgive.

1) Get to the meat of life, and enjoy every bite.

2) Move back in town (BH or SM???), find neighborhood, and school.

3) Have he ability to put Konrad in Private school, (I didn't say I would, I said I want the ability to!)

4) Trip with the girls to San Fran, :)

5) Rock the store so hard we are able to open a second location in the OC.

6) Take my mom to a play on Broadway.

7) Take my dad to Washington D.C.

8) Take Konrad to Hawaii

9) Go on a retreat all by myself.

10) Keep my heart open.

11) Be mindful of how much can actually happen in one single min.

12) Go back to school in the Spring. If I am attending full time at SMC I can put Konrad in school for free, their child-enrichment program in really good. Plus i am still on last years income for financial aid!

13) Go dancing more.

14) Compliment myself everyday.

15) Look for at least one positive in a person when I meet them.

16) Never let my laundry over flow.

17) Sing while I pack lunches.

18) Sing all the way to work, once a week.

19) Take my vision board out of my head and put it on paper!

20) Not look back on my life and feel like I missed anything.

21) Be the person Konrad dedicates his first book to.

22) Never say one negative thing about Aaron, around Konrad. Pray that he

23) get off my computer.
See ya!

Life is like....

The best analogy of life I can think of, is one of those jigsaw puzzles where the pieces fit into several different places. You may think you have all the pieces in the right place, but realize you made a mistake. All you can do is go back, fix the problem, and move on. Fit all the pieces you can as you find their place. fixating on the placement of one piece, will only deter you from placing all the rest.

I wonder, how many people actually get past the borders to the meat of the puzzle?

Spazio Moderno

So, now a little about the job! :)

I was basically given this space in Beverly Hills, and told to turn it into a store. My old boss, twice, got me the gig, THANK YOU BRADEN, I promise to rock your line.

The space is beautiful and amazing and i have SO many ideas for it. we are getting the ball rolling on Monday with a sample sale for all designers involved, to sell some stuff and put some change in their pocket to turn into more product, for me to sell.

The lines are art; the designers are local, beautiful, and totally hip.

I think I love working with Interior designers more than anyone else.

This project is everything I love all wrapped up into one; beautiful Interiors, people, and business. I am so stoked to see if my media/marketing plan will actually work! Cross your fingers. I am actually making a vision board for the store. I am about to spend the next few hours with Elle Decor, Arch Digest, and a pink mark. TGIF y'all.

Failure is not a possibility.

LONG LIVE SPAZIO MODERNO!

...and now for the next segment of our show!

It has been a bit difficult to decide how to proceed with my life, much less my blog.

Do you remember as a child, playing with dandelions?
If I remember correctly, when you blow the dandelion, you have to imagine all the seeds are being lifted up to the heavens and will be received as wishes for you. I have the feeling that a few of mine might of gotten lost, and are now being granted to me.

As you know, I am now a swinging single, ugh, not in anyway by my own choice; but I am beginning to feel that I have been set free.
I will no longer judged, by one of the few people who should be in total awe of me. (at least partial awe)
I get to find myself again.
(I will try and answer most of the questions that keep coming at me)

I have just started what will turn into an amazing job, and I am ready to get back in town. I know, Calabasas/Agoura is beautiful with great schools, but it is not me it never was. It was us, and is a bit painful. I am ready to be close to work (my current commute is about an hour into Bev. Hills) and back with my family (you will have two families in this life; one you are born into and one you make for yourself.). Not sure what area yet, I am stuck in the current place until our old lease runs out, but we are undergoing enough transition right now. I figure i will look around while I'm in town with friends and working.

Konrad is great, he is back in school, now full-time. and just moved up into the 2 year old class. and is working on Potty training himself. He makes it to the big boy potty about once a day, and will usually only go if you are not watching. He is such a sweet little man...

I am really excited about the future. The past few months have shown me how many people really are in my life, AMAZING people, not just run of the mill buddies. God gave me strength, grace under-fire, and a killer sense of humor, now I see why... God and the Universe are watching out for me, and have my back. :)

It is so true that you never really see someones true character until it is tested. I guess my character is much stronger that I would have given me credit for.

...and can I tell you how great it felt to type "I" so many times.

This is my story, the way I see it. Stay posted....
