Highs of the Day:

1.  Going on a hike.

Lows of the Day:

1.  The schnitty weather.   (Yes, you may quote me on that.)

Music of the Day:

Wow, Otis Redding…I think you’ve stolen my heart.  This man’s voice was just so incredibly powerful.  I would have loved to see him perform back in the day.  You can tell his energy just illuminated everywhere.  So tragic that he died right in the height of his career.  He is truly a legend that will forever be remembered.

Blog of the Day:

Indexed is a blog that lets you think more relationally without having to do actual math.  Since I am not much of a math person what-so-ever, I immediately took a liking to this creative approach of viewing things.    I just love all the different little charts that Jessica has come up with.  Take a gander, see what you think…

Other Inspiration:

You better believe it people; it’s a chocolate inhaler.  I don’t know if this could curb my neverending craving for chocolate; but with zero calories for each squirt, it’s definitely worth a shot!

Quote of the Day:

“Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.”   -Janis Joplin

Highs of the Day:

1. Riding my bike 5 miles.

2. Having a delicious dinner cooked for me.

3. Knowing it’s Friday.

4. Enrolling others in my life.

Lows of the Day:

1. ???

Music of the Day:

It was only a matter of time before I would mention this upcoming band known as “Manzania”.  No, I’m not only promoting it because I live with the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist.  They are actually an extremely talented duo that should be given credit for their unique style and dedication.  So watch out world, here they come!

Blog of the Day:

I was excited to discover that  my friend Bekah had created this blog called Bekahsphere.  Her photos are truly inspiring pieces of art.  Bekah is someone that I spent a lot of time with and have many fond memories of.  Our California days will forever tie us together and included many long nights doing homework, listening to music, attending shows, and being young at heart!  Keep it up Bekah, my good ole’ Brooks Institute mate.  “It’s ciggy time!”

Other Inspiration:

Thinking of my friend Bekah made me think of her father, Simon Bull,  as well.  His paintings capture everything that I like in a piece of artwork, great subject matter and splashes of vibrant color.  I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bull and he truly is just as kindhearted as he is talented. 

Quote of the Day:

“I feel like I’m diagonally parked in a parallel universe.”  -Anonymous

“Don’t ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who come alive.”  -Howard Thurman

Nothingness!

Highs of the Day:

1.  Enrolling others in my life.

2.  Sunshine and warm weather.

3.  Riding my bike 15 miles.

4.  Bringing cookies to a woman that turned 91.

5.  Feeling full from the cookies, peanut butter, and chocolate eaten the night prior.  (This would normally be a low, but I turned this into a high!)

Lows of the Day:

1.  NOTHING!

Music of the Day:

Journey, Journey, Journey.  Just saying their names brings you on a “journey” of imagination, but try seeing them in concert.  I had the pleasure of doing so with a highschool boyfriend of mine that was really “into” them.  We saw them at the Iowa State Fair in 2002 I believe.  Uh oh, I hope I didn’t put an age on myself with that statement.  Anyway, they rocked the kernals off the corn, nonetheless.  Classic, truly a classic.

Blog of the Day:

The pictures in this blog are amaaazing.  I love how they have photos as the main focus of the blog, hence the title, “The Big Picture.”  The photo that grabbed my attention on there today was this one:     

It reminded me of my all time favorite photo that I took, entitled “Luscious Lips”.  Hey, do you think the photographer could have been inspired by my photo?  Chances are, probably not; but hey, you never know!  I’ll let you be the judge!

 

Other Inspiration:

These are definitely the most creative websites I have ever seen.  Be sure to check out the one on the top right of the photo shown above; it’s a trip!
