five (really) good things
paris ii, natasha apron
the album my brother worked on/recorded with ben lee and jessica chapnik, the soundtrack from the australian film the square, has been nominated for an aria (similar to a U.S. grammy). jessica's voice is beautiful...loving these songs (visit her myspace page to hear some of them).
fall is here, which means it is that time of year when we begin to light our favorite candles at dusk.
finding a rhythm to my days as i try to balance it all and letting go of self-judgement when i don't quite find that balance.
creating. lots and lots of creating happening around here in any free second i have. (i've added natasha aprons to the shop.)
staying connected from this one-person inhabited island i sometimes feel that i live on.
how about you?
what are five really good things in your world?
name them.
i dare you.
