June 9, 2010 This quote is from "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstien. Reminds me of summer, and of being a kid, and the poem holds a lot of what I hope to instill in my children.
Listen to the musn’ts, child,
Listen to the don’ts
Listen to the shouldn’ts
the impossibles, the wont’s
Listen to the never haves
then listen close to me —
Anything can happen, child,
anything can be.
- Shel Silverstien

Lately I have worked with, and come across many different people who are truly doing what they love. It's inspirational to hear stories of how people get to where they are in life. This is for everyone who woke up one morning and thought, "is there more to life than this?"

Yes, this is hand-made gnocchi, and yes that is fresh tomato sauce, and on top of that even fresher buffalo mozzarella. And yes, they probably picked those giant fresh basil leaves just as the waiter whisked the hot dish out the door. But this is how they do it in Italy.
I took this snapshot to always remember this perfect dish in Florence last fall, when I lived out my own, shorter version of Eat Pray Love. I did not make it all the way to India and Bali, but I did quit my job and go to Italy. I ate and prayed, and managed to go to mass all but one day that I was there; twice at St. Peters! I could not think of a more wonderful place to ground yourself.
Watch the trailer for Eat Pray Love. Follow along on Twitter for quotes from author Elizabeth Gilbert. And if they ever make the story of my life into a movie, I can only hope that Julia Roberts plays me.
April 26, 2010 I used some scraps from a design I worked on last week to make this today. Just like a seamstress using old scraps of material. I really love this old little umbrella woodcut that I found.
