In a newsletter we emailed last week, we asked the readers to guess how many website hits we’ve ever gotten.  The closest guess without going over wins.  Well… despite our staggering popularity, we only had one guess : ( But that’s OK, especially for Amanda H. who won the $15 iTunes gift card.  Anyway, the answer is (drum roll please)…. 128,351 website hits to date.

Hello and thanks for checking in.  My fiance and I recently watched No Impact Man, a documentary about an author who tried to live with literally no impact on the environment for one full year.  It made me think about how we all affect each other, especially in living close to one another.   This inspired today’s quote, which comes from the Buddha, it says:

All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

Hello people! Ever consider Peonies in your wedding bouquet?  They’re super beautiful (see following photo).  Anyway… I need to lighten things up on this here blog.  I’ve been posting romantic quotes about love and life, but today… I’m looking to Homer Simpson for some advice on love.

“Bart, with $10,000, we’d be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like…love!”

Homer J Simpson.

Have a good day!

What up folks.  I hope the weather in MA is nice.  I’m actually pre-posting all of my blogging for the next 2 weeks as I’m currently in San Francisco on vacation!  : )  The following quote comes from the Tao Te Ching which is one of my favorite books.

“In dwelling, live close to the ground.  In thinking, keep to the simple.  In conflict, be fair and generous.  In governing, don’t try to control.  In work, do what you enjoy.  In family life, be completely present.”  – Lao Tzu

It’s pretty deep, and makes me remember to stay grounded; I can definitely work on that.  I also like the reminder to be present, especially with my baby girl and fiance.  I’m lucky because I already love what I do!  Have a good day  : )
