One week, two trunk shows (in different states), a holiday open house, web sales, kids with ear infections, other kids with night terrors, husbands traveling out of town ... not so easy to stay in the moment ... not so easy to feel peaceful ... even when wearing one of our peace tees! In fact, if I could just go to sleep for the next month I would be so, so happy. But that is just this moment. Tomorrow when Meg, Rhonda (our amazingly gifted style guru) and I work on our holiday display for the front lawn at our studio, all this will disappear. We will laugh and climb all over each others ideas, building on the creative energy that seems to flow when we get together.  And we won't care about any of the monotonous details of our daily lives - we will forget for a little while about the endless to-do-lists and that feeling of constantly running. Now if I could just figure out how to grab that feeling when I am doing those damn to-do-lists ... gonna have to do a lot more yoga I guess.
