"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss
I love the use of a positive word, quote, or mantra. It is art in the form of a daily reminder, or 'note to self' for a reflection of
permanent positive thinking...
Would you dare to ink a message within your own bare skin?

“Summertime, and the livin' is easy” – George Gershwin
Ballin on a budget: Date night or host night
This weekend my boyfriend and I are dog sitting Hank
in Weehawken, NJ.
My goal for our date night was dinner and wine for 2 @ $40.00.
= Mango Salsa (the topping to balsamic vinegarette chicken)
Mozzarella, Goat, and Gorgonzola cheese + Pinot Grigio
and a happy babe...
We balled on a $40 budget and there is wine left for a movie, salsa + cheese to be continued through the weekend. Enjoy this cheap thrill any night of your summer...

Sometimes I can relate to the expression "bad luck is better than no luck" because of my true tendency to experience inconvenient luck. Trust that this is no exaggeration, and too often I feel like there is a law or theory ruling my life: for every advantage, there is an equal or greater disadvantage.
For example, I have finally grown to accept a few facial scars from "the great fall" when out of nowhere a new scar appears to join my growing collection.
This morning as I began to wallow in my own self-pity (due to the glances encountered on my train ride to work) I received an email from my friend Lindsey. She attached the article of Matt's story and I soon realized how pathetic and insignificant my scars are in comparison. I felt inclined to share his inspirational story below:
And thank you to Lindsey and the God's that be, for awakening me from a strong stupor...
