How to make your life WAY more exciting

Never come back from the grocery store with just what you intended to buy. How boring!

For example,

When you go to the store to buy salad, also return with

Ice cream sammies


And

Creme brûlée stout



There you have it.

The Art of Follow Through





It's truly a lost art: the art of follow through.

The art of actually doing what you say you're going to do.

Imagine a place where everyone does exactly what they say. No broken promises, no flakey flakes, and no lies. I can't really imagine it. Can you?

We live in a time and place where somehow you are much hipper if you say you are going to do something, and then perhaps those around you are unsure as to whether or not you are going to follow through. They are left to wonder, and that makes you mysterious, thus taking up space in their minds. When you are dependable, doing what you say you will do, people have no need to worry about you. There is certainty. Today certainty often equates to boredom.

But what if we envision a place where certainty was valorous? Knowing that what a person says and does would not a mystery, but a perfect match. Two things that undeniably went hand in hand.

A lost art.

The tiniest chair in the world




On which I will sit when I am tiny.

Portland. ❤




I love Portland.

Maybe it's the big city feel of a manageable city. Maybe it's the amazing food, coffee, and shopping options that tempt my inner consumer. Maybe it was the brief flash of sun. Maybe it's the good energy that radiates off of our old friends who now call Portland home.

Or maybe Portland just has it all.
