Just Breathe

God grant me the serenity 
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION

My New Obsession

Why are my new obsessions always costly??????????

I do this new fun thing called designing t-shirts. which wouldn't be bad if i was designing them for OTHER people to buy and not myself. At least one of them was a gift. . . and my most recent one is for my group called the "night crawlers", that I will be running with in a 5K on june 4th! it is a walk/race called the Firefly Run benefitting the Children's Medical Center of Dallas. The neat thing about it is that it is at 830 at night, so everyone will be dressed in bright colors from head to toe and accessorized in LED flashing lights! canNOT wait!!!!

Here is my Firefly Run shirt! My group of about 6 or 7 likes it at least!

Here are some images of my tshirt designs from Uberprints.

Sitting in Context

SO this is my chair! or as I like to call it, my throne!

Took about 2 days to make! I am looking extremely tired in this picture, but at least my chair didn't break apart when i sat on it!!!!! success. 

Life is Like a Box of Crayons

“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!" 
- John Mayer


Personally, I would rather be a 120 box of crayons. My color of choice is Razzmatazz Red after my favorite JambaJuice smoothie. What's your color? 


From the Crayola Website: 

Personality Traits achiever, intense, competitive

Cultural Meanings In India, red represents a soldier.

Fun Facts Red is a stimulant in the healing process. It increases blood flow and energizes the body. To paint the town red means to celebrate and party. If you dream of the color red, it is a warning to calm your temper.

Happy Summer!

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

truly inspiring. enjoy.

Looking back. . . and trying to look forward.

I had a lot of fun with the treehouse project even though it was kind of a love/hate thing. . . still, i feel accomplished. I am going back to Dallas for break and will use this time to RELAX, spend time with my family, read some vampire books, think of awesome idea's for this next experience/book project, and try to feel good about pushing forward. On the 20th of February my friend Hayden Hartnett passed away. I met her freshman year of highschool. . . right away we were best friends and partners in crime. we got into SO much trouble together. . . for instance, all in one night, we had gotten Fake IDs (at age 15 mind you), got our belly buttons pierced, snuck out, got caught, got our phones taken away, and got busted for both the Fakes AND the piercing because my mom went through our phones. Needless to say she has given me the most awesome memories and everyone who ever knew her can say the same. HERE is an article I found from her college's newspaper. She was studying visual art at Fordham College with a focus in photography. For more than just her talent, for her strength, her ability to make you fall in love with anything, the way i'll never EVER feel bad about eating donuts because she told me "they're basically just sugar and air, so they don't count" hahah... so Hayden.... the things she could come up with... she will truly always be an inspiration to me. 

There was nobody more beautiful. 

“Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either.”

I plan on celebrating Spring Break with a Snow Cone today from Tad's. . . Nobody loved snow cones more than Hayden. And if you're reading this, YOU should go get one too! - b/c she would have convinced you otherwise.
