Continue reading → The post Trello for Ten first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> Hello Trello! I’ve known about Trello for awhile and used it very briefly with a team I was on. And then a team member was replaced and they were off to another application for project management. Even after a little time with it, I thought it was a great idea for my business, so I created a free account. And then it sat there… For a year or more, it sat there and I really did very little with it. There was a learning curve and that often derails my attempts at adding something new that might actually benefit me more in the long run. So I didn’t think about Trello much at all. And then, a membership group I am a part of started talking about this great resource and how it could be useful in a number of ways. The owner of the group even posted Trello templates that we could play with and customize. Not knowing a lot about how Trello works, I dug in and started playing with it again. I learned by doing and making mistakes and doing again. I added the Boards I need for my business. Then added a Board for household projects we want to complete this year. I launched into developing a creative hub Board and a Board for vacation planning. I even added my partner to the household and vacation boards so we could coordinate on planning and executing. Honestly, I felt brand new. And then I did very little with it yet again!! Trello hung out now in the back of my mind frequently yet wasn’t making it it to my Bullet Journal lists. But I’m happy to say, the Boards only hung out unused for about 2 months. I remembered how helpful it would be and figured out how to make it more relevant. I found even more business planning templates that were done for me and figured out how to copy and customize them. I watched video tutorials and gained new understanding of how each piece of the system could work for me. Fast forward and I’m now adding files, photos and other attachments so that I can find things easily and quickly in one place! My logo, brand colors, bios and more are all in a stack of cards within a board called Brand. Even more important, I made a usage commitment that was easy to execute. I would set aside ten minutes a day to be inside of Trello. I set a timer, log in and go to the Board that most needs my attention that day. I might not even need the entire ten minutes, but I have it open to me if I decide I do. And if I need more time, I put it into my Bullet Journal for another time slot that allows for another ten minute block. I feel like this may be a game changer! I’ll know where everything lives and can move tasks and set deadlines easily. And Yes, the jury is still out, but here’s the next thing. All of my most successful and consistent habits are built on a few principles. (thanks to the book Atomic Habits.) Habit Checklist I have a desire to actually be that person who does that thing (I am a Trello user!) I’ve stacked it with another habit. I set myself up for success by having what I need to accomplish the habit. ( I do it after I’ve already fired up the computer and my browser it set to open with Trello) In this case, I’ve stacked it with daily planner review and bullet journal brain dump, and it fits nicely there for right now. I’ll check in with you on this from time to time and see how it’s going and whether Trello is still as relevant for me then as it is now. I’d love for you to tell me about your experience with Trello as well. Do you use it? How do you fit in the time and even better, do you have a favorite template? Or is there another application you use that serves you best? Let’s share and discuss in the comments. And now, I’m headed back into Trello!

Yet, looking back, I realize I’ve been hard on myself. I haven’t always recognized the progress I’ve made. I’ve consistently increased my income for the past few years and grown so much. But in 2020, I achieved a new credential (Professional Certified Coach) from the ICF, as well as a Certification as a Mentor Coach. I stepped solidly into the role of Coach Training Delivery Leader, a goal of mine since 2009! I popped a lot of champagne last year in celebration of my milestones. Found a new favorite as well. As a result, I was really busy. So much so that I kept my head down and got stuff done. Lots of stuff. Things I am very proud of. What I didn’t do yet again was pay much attention to my online presence. You may be shocked to hear that and yet, there are reasons that’s important for me to declare. I don’t get many referrals from my website or my social media presence, at least, not at the moment. So I spent much of my time engaged in activities that moved me forward toward my professional and financial development goals. And of course, 2020 was the year of COVID19 and world-wide Quarantine, combined with a difficult year of division in many ways across the US. Honestly, I found social media a place I needed to avoid for my own self care. Most of my interactions were on coaching and business groups, creative groups and with my family and close friends. Yet, at the end of the year, I realized I was longing for something new. A new perspective on marketing for my business. A new way of connecting and belonging again. More human connection, even if it still needs to be mostly online. And when I looked at my online presence, I definitely felt like some changes needed to be implemented. So I started reflecting on what I really wanted. As I entered into my own business planning process at the end of last year, I wanted to be sure to add a few things: 1) Rebrand my Professional Presence Online and at In-Person events, however that may unfold.2) Write, Create and Share in whatever way I can3) Deliver free and paid content again4) Cultivate opportunities to Speak about topics that I am passionate about5) Serve in a leadership role as I feel led, especially in my own ICF Chapter6) Support new and current clients in their professional and personal development plans as a Coach.7) Organize myself more efficiently and effectively. One area in which this is critical is my digital data. It MUST be tamed.8) Show up more fully and authentically than ever before. So I’m off and running on managing Project Rebrand. I’ve redesigned my logo and I’m updating social media sites and this website. As of today, there’s a huge learning curve as Instagram and Canva have both changed a bit since I was a regular user. And I want a whole new look here on WordPress. In December, I thought I would be complete by now. Turns out, it’s going to take a bit more time. I’m also renewing my commitment to some free content and online events quarterly. I enjoyed delivering my Inspiration series, my Accountability Days and various webinars on topics that I thought were of interest to my clients. I love giving value no matter if the effort yields a new client or just a new connection to support and develop a friendship or collaboration. So I’m in the process of Refreshing that content and talking to clients about how their businesses have changed as a result of what happened in 2020. What I am seeing and hearing is exciting! It appears as though some of the platforms have calmed down a bit following the January 2021 Inauguration and I’m grateful for that. And though we’ve seen over 500,000 deaths from COVID19, I am also seeing evidence that more and more people have been vaccinated and cases are decreasing in many areas. My hope is Renewed. And maybe most of all, I miss writing. I did very little writing in 2020, except for a few blog posts for others who requested that support from me. I even signed up for a 30 day writing challenge that I realized quickly I didn’t have the bandwidth for. Normally, I would have continued to add to that list of things I want this year to get to an “even 10.” Now, I’m good with 8. It’s a lot. And yet, I feel energized and ready to take it all on. I’m going to need to lean into Diligence on the Tilt Wheel in order to show up for these things fully. And Diligence is absolutely the polar opposite of where I naturally Tilt, which is Ideator through and through. I’m going to need to lean into Architect and create the systems and workflows to make it all happen, while having fun along the way. (if you’d like your own Tilt assessment and debrief, let me know and we can get you scheduled). Enough about me – what are you showing up for fully this year? What’s on your plan? Virtual coffee? Happy to get that scheduled too. Just reach out and I’ll put on my favorite brew. For now, Cheers to all that 2020 was and to all that 2021 has in store.

I see evidence of it every single day. And, I have power and a voice within that privilege. Yet often, like me, I feel that collectively, many many White people are outraged. And yet, there’s a pattern. I’ve fallen into it in the past as well. We mourn. We post and write and speak and walk and donate and then…we go back to our privileged, lives and our work. Continue reading → The post The Only Things I Know To Say Right Now. first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> The impact of the recent murders of Breonna Taylor, Armaud Arbery and George Floyd has devasted our communities and our country, and returned many of us to memories of decades of discrimination, hatred, dehumanization and divisiveness. As a child growing up in the Chicago area in the 60s, I remember feeling fear as I became aware of the hatred and violence building, as well as hope for those activists working to change laws that promoted equal rights. As a White woman of privilege currently living in South Mississippi, I am frequently confronted with racist remarks and actions, clearly not about or against MY race. And they are becoming more frequent and overt than ever before. You see, many people think that because of the color of my skin, I will agree with them. It took me a long time to stop my jaw dropping “I don’t know what to say” reaction and move to the responses I choose now that signal to them that their comments are not okay. Unfortunately, I’ve had to create quite a mental library of responses to fit a number of different situations and comments. And honesty, I’m scared!! I’m afraid of their anger and hatred and I’m afraid I won’t “say it right” in response. I was confronted head on by this systemic issue from the time I moved here. And now, it’s escalating and it’s time to effect permanent change. And yet, I am suffering from a limiting belief about whether this is truly possible in this country right now. Because I see all too clearly that this isn’t just a problem that exists in the South. It isn’t just my neighbor who is openly and verbally racist. It’s happening in neighborhoods where my sister, brother, nieces and cousins still live in Illinois, in Minnesota, in Florida, and in Arizona. It’s not just happening in my granddaughter’s school in Mississippi, but in the schools where my daughter teaches in New Orleans and where my niece and cousin work in Central Florida. It’s ingrained in the minds and reactions of so many people as they sit quietly in class or stand by silently while another student is bullied or called a name. And my son can run through his neighborhood without fear of being gunned down on the street, but some of his friends, neighbors and co-workers cannot. And the response of our nation’s leader is doing more to incite violence than it is to promote peaceful resolutions, swift convictions, and equal representation. As a White woman, I am certain that I am privileged. I see evidence of it every single day. And, I have power and a voice within that privilege. Yet often, like me, I feel that collectively, many many White people are outraged. And yet, there’s a pattern. I’ve fallen into it in the past as well. We mourn. We post and write and speak and walk and donate and then…we go back to our privileged, lives and our work. This movement will take more than a groundswell of actions. We must co-create sustainable change that will not find us going back to sleep while our Black sisters and brothers are being murdered. In my business, I created what I think are the 4 Elements that can create success in almost any area of life and business. First, a Vision of what you want to accomplish.  Second, a Belief or mindset that it’s possible. Third, a Plan for how to get there and Fourth, Focused, Consistent Action.   I am calling myself and others to this work – First, to envision a country where racism is called out,  condemned and prosecuted consistently and our history of oppression isn’t “celebrated,” (as it is still here in the South) but is a thing of the past. And that what we celebrate is our commitment and collective partnerships to end (and continually address and discuss) racial injustice once and for all. That one day, we will celebrate our Days of Freedom, rather than our days of violence and hate. Second, I’m having a little trouble with the Belief part right now. But many of you are helping me every day as I watch you walking, protesting, watching and reading about Black History. Speaking out in all forms. Flying a new flag in Mississippi. Creating Listening stations and much more. Please help me (and let me help you) get to the part where we BELIEVE we can end what seems like a cavernous pit of hatred and violence. Third, I’m looking for those leaders and organizations who can come together with a Plan. I’m not seeing that yet. Solopreneurs like myself are asking each other how we can work together and I know that we will figure that out soon. Fourth, I will engage in focused consistent and daily actions. I see more hope here than I have before. I see policemen and women taking a knee at protests. I’ve seen companies express their commitment of support, dollars and resources, and denouncing racism and violence. I’ve seen universities pull scholarships after seeing racists videos posted by prospective students. And employers terminate workers after discovering their intolerant and hateful behaviors. Here’s what is the beginning of my part in this area. For a long long time, I have practiced morning journaling pages daily, and I have an ending “process” for each writing session. I ask myself – what did I do the previous day to engage in Creativity, Self-Care and Learning. Then I list a number of things I am grateful for. Starting now, I will add another area to reflect – what did I do yesterday to promote justice and equality for people of color? What’s happened in the world to unite people of color that I am grateful for today. To all my Black friends and neighbors, colleagues and community leaders, victims of crime and their families, and especially to all of the children who are so very scared right now: I’ve made mistakes in the past and I am so very sorry for them. I have said insensitive and racist things. I have been ignorant of the toll this is taking, and of the million big and tiny ways you are shattered inside every day. Of how resilient you have had to become as a result. And today, tomorrow and every day, I see you. I hear you. I stand with you. I will fight for you and with you. I am your Ally.

Continue reading → The post A Mid-Year Check in first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> photo by picjumbo.com   As we are almost to the halfway point of the year, I am spending time in reflection about the way I’ve been operating in life and in business so far. I use a combination of journaling, looking back over my plan for the year, and brainstorming what I’m feeling is missing or needs to be eliminated.   I also take time to celebrate where I am at this mid-point. That’s important to me, as I am naturally inclined to seeing what I haven’t done with a critical eye, rather than embracing the successes I have achieved. Among other things I’ve done this year, I’m celebrating my steps forward in achieving my next level of coach credentialing. I’ve really taken the main focus off of acquiring more clients and have shined a light on technique and coaching competency. It’s uncomfortable at times and my inner critic has spoken up more often than I would like. But it’s been a huge learning process that I haven’t undertaken for many years, and it feels satisfying.   I’m celebrating another successful half year as an entrepreneur. Building a coaching business takes time and I can honestly say that I am looking at sustainability, continued growth and refinement. What else am I longing to do? One of them is writing and blogging. I find that these are often the first things to get pushed out when I am “busy.” I have at least 5 book ideas in my head, but so far, I’m not coming to writing from a place of choice as I prioritize my time for writing and creating each day. I also find that I sometimes avoid social media because it can be a depressing place to be. Yet, I want to create an uplifting corner for followers here on the blog and on my other social media sites. I see so many “ads” and posts from other coaches about how they “leveraged Facebook to create a six figure income.” And, of course, how they help other coaches to do the same for a mere $10,000. How about the untapped power of Instagram? When I do pop in, I am bombarded with offers of free books about blogging or IGTV to make me rich. Rich enough to be able to afford their exclusive VIP program. Honestly, that isn’t the way I want to be in my business relationships with clients. I want my connections to be authentic and meaningful, as I continue to move forward as a coach and as a business owner. I want a personal relationship, not an online conversation in a Facebook group or a series of pre-recorded training videos. In fact, I also need to stop signing up for these things or looking outside of myself for resources to succeed. I don’t need a program created by anyone else. I know what I need to do to attract new business and sustain the amazing clients I already have.And in order to do that, I need to open myself up to more conversations with people I want to work with and who want to work with me. So how do I want to approach this? I want to give content and tools, rather than taking names and emails to filter through a squeeze page of just “one more bonus offer if you sign up today” or “click here to get this amazing offer that will skyrocket you into six figures.” I want people to want to work with me because they had an experience of me in some way. And they believe that when we partner together, we will both benefit exponentially in ways that go beyond money or followers. What does that look like? Maybe monthly or quarterly free events as I used to do years ago. Possibly live chats on YouTube where we talk about whatever is important to each individual that is watching. Trainings on the 4 Elements for Success – a deep dive into each one. So, as you look at this past six months, what is it that you are celebrating so far this year? What else are you longing to do? What might you want to avoid or get rid of? What will Enliven you as you step forward into the Summer Solstice? What blooms most vibrantly for you right now?   As we approach the longest day of the year, may you find the time to shine a light on what’s most important in your life and work.The post A Mid-Year Check in first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> /a-mid-year-check-in/feed/ 0 I Have A Love/Hate Relationship With Social Media /i-have-a-lovehate-relationship-with-social-media/ /i-have-a-lovehate-relationship-with-social-media/#respond Fri, 17 May 2019 14:00:36 +0000 /?p=934 So yes, I may get tired of the complaints and insults and #fakenews. And yeah, I'm pretty inconsistent. But the honest truth is I'll probably be around for awhile. And sometimes you may find me in person and we can chat a bit IRL. Which for me is infinitely better than your comment or laughing emoji.  Continue reading → The post I Have A Love/Hate Relationship With Social Media first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> I’ve been on Facebook for awhile. I don’t know how long. I originally balked at the idea of creating a page. (I was, however, an avid MySpace user. What ever happened to MySpace??) My youngest daughter convinced me that it was a good idea because I would be able to see many current pictures of my kids and my granddaughter. She was a baby, so I am guessing I joined some time in 2007. I signed up for a Twitter account in January, 2009. I only have a little over 800 followers. Clearly, I’m not consistent. Instagram – April, 2012. Pinterest – Lord knows when. YouTube – Yep. I’m there too. Look at the last video. I’ve cut my hair five times since then! (I’m more active sharing books on this channel for sure. Maybe that’s where my spare time is going?) The point is…I can’t keep up with all of this stuff and I don’t even try any more. And sometimes, it annoys the hell out of me. I think social media brings out the best and the worst of us. Just like I believe that we generally carry a blend of the best and the worst of our parents around in our pocket. Sometimes the best qualities emerge. Sometimes, we default to those phrases, habits or behaviors that don’t represent us in a generous light. In the past 10 or so years, I have watched social media users say things that they might never have said in a face-to-face conversation. It’s escalated to a point that makes me cringe. Hastags like #fakenews are usually inserted when someone decries a media post about one highly charged or sensitive topic or another. I’ve seen examples of the very worst of human nature and I often see more than one in a day. So why am I still logging in to these sites and sharing/posting/liking/commenting? Because there are more examples of things that bring me joy. Because I want to share joy with others. Because life is too short to criticize another person and too long not to lift someone up or encourage them along the pathway. Because I am connected to my tribe in groups that let the rest of the ugly fall away. Because, despite all the things I dislike about social media, there are memories captured in each place that are important to me. Like the tweeted photo of the night I met Kristen Chenowith and she sang a song about Mississippi to us after we saw her perform in Promises Promises. How about my first blog post ever about my daughter leaving for college on MySpace? Photos of my son’s graduation from University of Alabama as a Paramedic. The first glimpses at my granddaughters births shared on Facebook. Shares of my mom crowned as Mardi Gras Queen at the assisted facility where she lived nearby. My daughter-in-law’s growth as a mother and entrepreneur. Special Olympics events where my oldest carried the torch and competed bravely. Numerous dance competitions and awards won by my tiny dancer. And the business accounts I’ve created for 4 Elements Coaching. My infrequent posts are now proof that I am busy enough that I don’t have time to blog, tweet, post and share as often as I might want to do. So yes, I may get tired of the complaints and insults and #fakenews. And yeah, I’m pretty inconsistent. But the honest truth is I’ll probably be around for awhile. And sometimes you may find me in person and we can chat a bit IRL. Which for me is infinitely better than your comment or laughing emoji. And maybe soon, I’ll have to hire someone or learn a complicated new batching system through sites like Hootsuite or Meet Edgar to be able to really be consistent and keep up with it all.  (Meet Edgar would be my choice just because it has a cool name!) See ya around the Social Meeds!

If it feels authentic to you, talk about it. Wear it. Share it. Create a panel around it.  And isn't that what Entrepreneurs are trying to do every day? Continue reading → The post What Comic Con Taught Me About Entrepreneurship first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> Late in 2018, my daughter texted me to let me know about a special deal on Comic Con weekend tickets. I’ve never attended  Comic Con, though the idea of them intrigued me.  I didn’t know what to expect, but I did know that there were a few panels of celebrities I couldn’t pass up. Namely, the writer and stars of the series Outlander.  So we decided to buy our tickets and head to New Orleans for a weekend of games, books, superheroes and Anime. What I didn’t realize was that I would learn quite a lot from this weekend of panels on a variety of topics. For instance, I attended: How To Create a YouTube Channel Nerdy Lady Entrepreneurs How To Make A Nerdy Living and more…   What was clear to me was the intentional message that you can create a following (or Fandom) around anything you love. If it feels authentic to you, talk about it. Wear it. Share it. Create a panel around it. And isn’t that what Entrepreneurs are trying to do every day? So.. Lesson One: If you create a pack of raving fans that will tell everyone they meet about what you do, you’ll no doubt experience steady growth. Lesson Two: Comic Con taught me is to be true to yourself. The Cosplay game – nothing like it! And, there was a lot of talk about being nerdy and unique. The consistent messaging was “You are welcome here, no matter how you’re dressed or how different you might be. There’s no sense in trying to step outside of your essence and try to do something that feels hard or too scary. While Entrepreneurism isn’t for the faint of heart, it truly makes sense to do something that lights you up and connects to your core essential self. As one of my favorite quotes by Howard Thurman always reminds me: Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. Lesson Three: So many business owners were represented at vendor tables and panel discussions. It was dizzying and overwhelming at times, but definitely inspiring. They knew where the customers would be and they met them there. And everyone was energized by the field – the exchange of supply and demand. Finally, Comic Con taught me the value in connecting with your tribe. While there were literally thousands of people in the convention center, there were no fights or even harsh words that I could hear. Like-mindedness can create light heartedness! It was crowded and sometimes the lines were long and the available seats were few and far between, but honest and polite people raised their game and made it a family friendly and personable event. As Entrepreneurs, it is when we connect with others that fit like a glove, we are surrounded by support and a sense of belonging. This goes a long way to keeping us from running out the door and giving up. I absolutely plan to return to this Comic Con in 2020. It will be interesting to me to see how I feel the second time around. But I am truly thinking about these lessons as I take some steps in a brave new direction this year. Sometimes the learning comes from the most unexpected places.The post What Comic Con Taught Me About Entrepreneurship first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> /what-comic-con-taught-me-about-entrepreneurship/feed/ 0 Enliven me, 2019! /enliven-me-2019/ /enliven-me-2019/#respond Tue, 01 Jan 2019 14:00:29 +0000 /?p=925 It's that time again!

Time for me to reflect on the past year, and time for me to choose my One Little Word to guide me throughout the year ahead. You may remember this practice from a post last year.  This year, I’m doing a bit more reflection than usual, and will engage with Ali Edwards in her One Little Word class. It will allow me to intentionally live and express my word and create something meaningful that will last a lifetime and beyond. But first, a wrap up. Last year’s word was Create and I feel like I want to remember a few things that stand out as I reflect on this word. I created an environment that inspired and supported my creativity. My office/studio is totally fresh and new, and I enjoy every moment I spend here. I created spaciousness in my closets and drawers and files and cabinets. And maybe even more importantly, I created spaciousness in my schedule. I created opportunities to build my business in new ways and increase my income. I created scrapbook layouts and mini albums for myself and for others. I helped to create Hygge in our home, and created beautiful spaces for us to enjoy every day. I created new systems and processes to manage the workflow, which inspired new systems and processes for the near year to come. I created opportunities to partner and create with others, to celebrate with friends and to enjoy the place we live and the places we love to visit even more. I created a deeper love and trust in my relationships, leaning in to my own authentic voice and listening for that voice in others. There’s even more, but I feel like you get the picture and I’ve documented enough to be able to reflect even more on this first day of a brand new year. After much thought, the word I’ve chosen this year is Enliven. I was leaning toward another “E-Word” (Enough) when I received an email from my team leader at inviteCHANGE, where I am a part of an amazing group of coaches. She wrote, “Congratulations Laurie and it’s so fun to witness you enlivened and vital!” When I am feeling enlivened, I am exhilarated and feel like I am operating at my highest potential. It’s a total elevation – a place I rise up to. And I think it is there that I am the most inspired and intuitive, probably because I’m connected to my magical child. I want to connect with her much more often. After seeing mentor’s email, I knew that Enliven was just the right word for me in 2019. So, I’m going to take this on and carry it with me. Who knows what this new year will bring? How can it be anything but spectacular with this One Little Word by my side? What’s Your One Little Word?    The post Enliven me, 2019! first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> /enliven-me-2019/feed/ 0 An End of Year Ritual /an-end-of-year-ritual/ /an-end-of-year-ritual/#respond Mon, 31 Dec 2018 20:25:31 +0000 Continue reading → The post An End of Year Ritual first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> These last few days of the year are some of my favorites! I spend a lot of time looking ahead and planning what I want to accomplish in the new year. I also spend some time intentionally reviewing the past year and what I want to celebrate and making a list of what I am grateful for. On the flip side, I also make a list of what I want to let go. Weather permitting, (it’s a pretty bleak and rainy day!) I will engage in a favorite ritual.  At some point after dark, I’ll build a fire in the fire pit tonight to release the list of gratitudes and the list of things I need to let go of before the clock strikes midnight. I’ve been writing them down for a few weeks now. This year was an epic year for me. I’m celebrating a couple of major shifts and changes: I realized a significant increase in the number of clients and in my yearly income. I enrolled in an advanced coach development training program that was absolutely phenomenal. I became a Certified Infinite Possibilities trainer, and subsequently achieved Trailblazer status. I spent a few days in Maui, delivering my first Infinite Possibilities Training. We completed an office re-do that has greatly improved my work flow and organization. I started and finished my first 1/2 marathon. I’m grateful to all the people who helped and supported me along the way as I achieved these goals. It’s been an amazing year of connections with others, those I’ve known for awhile and some that are brand new to me. Now for what I’m letting go of: My attachment to place. My attachment to time and the way I use it.  Clutter – both inside my mind and in my environment. Lingering negative beliefs about money. Feeling out of balance, which at times, caused me to unconsciously put limits on my capacity. My feelings of inadequacy. That Perfectionista that lives inside of me and tells me I’m not enough if I’m not perfect. I’ve worked hard this year, but much of the time, it felt effortless and authentic. My independence as an entrepreneur is something I treasure. So above everything, I’m celebrating that I can begin 2019 still in business! And that I have a bright, shiny new year, with all the possibility it can bring. You may remember one of my favorite passages to read at this time of year. It comes from a favorite book of daily inspiration – Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. “…but time is the New Year’s bountiful blessing: three hundred sixty-five bright mornings and starlit evenings; fifty-two promising weeks; twelve transformative months full of beautiful possibilities; and four splendid seasons. A simply abundant year to be savored.”    May 2019 bring you all that you desire and are willing to choose.  The post An End of Year Ritual first appeared on Moving You From Surviving to Thriving.]]> /an-end-of-year-ritual/feed/ 0 How to help an aging parent when you’re far away /how-to-help-an-aging-parent-when-youre-far-away/ /how-to-help-an-aging-parent-when-youre-far-away/#respond Tue, 13 Nov 2018 17:47:58 +0000 /?p=913 Another guest post today from Claire Wentz from Caring from Afar!  Few things compare to the stress of knowing an elderly loved one’s health is in decline, and living far away only adds to the worry.

Others make you stare at your photos afterward and wonder if they were actually real. From colorful villages and turquoise beaches to dramatic mountains and magical old cities, the world is filled with destinations that look like they were designed specifically for a dream. If your travel bucket list needs a little more inspiration, these dreamy places deserve a spot on it. 🏝️ The Maldives Imagine waking up in an overwater villa with bright blue water stretching in every direction. The Maldives is famous for white-sand beaches, tropical scenery, and crystal-clear lagoons. It is the kind of place where doing absolutely nothing suddenly feels like a very productive vacation. 🏔️ Santorini, Greece Whitewashed buildings, blue domes, dramatic cliffs, and spectacular sunsets make Santorini feel almost unreal. The island’s narrow streets are perfect for wandering around while discovering little cafés and beautiful views. It is especially magical when the sun begins to disappear over the Aegean Sea. 🌸 Kyoto, Japan Kyoto combines peaceful gardens, traditional wooden houses, ancient temples, and beautiful seasonal scenery. Spring brings delicate cherry blossoms, while autumn transforms the landscape with colorful leaves. A quiet walk through one of its historic neighborhoods can feel like stepping into another era. 🏡 Hallstatt, Austria This charming lakeside village looks like something from a storybook. Colorful houses sit between the mountains and a peaceful lake, creating postcard-worthy views almost everywhere you look. It is the perfect destination for travelers who enjoy cozy streets, beautiful scenery, and plenty of photo opportunities. 🌊 Amalfi Coast, Italy Cliffside villages, sparkling blue water, colorful buildings, and winding coastal roads give the Amalfi Coast its unforgettable charm. You can spend the day exploring small towns, enjoying Italian food, or simply admiring the scenery. And yes, eating pasta while looking at the Mediterranean absolutely counts as a travel activity. 🌌 Iceland Iceland offers a completely different kind of dream, with waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, black-sand beaches, and dramatic landscapes. During the right season and conditions, visitors may also have the chance to see the Northern Lights dancing across the night sky. It is the sort of destination that makes you understand why nature doesn’t need a filter. ✨ Your Dream Destination Is Waiting Whether your idea of a perfect trip involves relaxing beside turquoise water, wandering through historic streets, exploring dramatic landscapes, or eating your way through beautiful cities, there is a destination waiting to match your travel dreams. You don’t have to visit every place on your bucket list at once. Start with one, save a little, make a plan, and let the adventure begin. Just remember to leave some room in your suitcase—you will probably come home with souvenirs, snacks, and approximately 847 photos. ]]> Why Is Everyone Suddenly Talking About Pistachio Desserts? /2026/09/22/why-is-everyone-suddenly-talking-about-pistachio-desserts/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 07:23:29 +0000 /?p=48 Why Is Everyone Suddenly Talking About Pistachio Desserts? It seems like pistachios have suddenly taken over the dessert world. One minute, they were quietly sitting in a bowl of mixed nuts. The next, they were appearing in chocolates, cakes, ice cream, cookies, croissants, and every fancy dessert imaginable. So, what happened? Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with pistachio desserts? 💚 They Look Almost Too Pretty to Eat Pistachios bring a beautiful green color to desserts without needing much decoration. That soft green shade makes cakes, ice cream, pastries, and creams look instantly more luxurious. And let’s be honest, food that looks good has a much better chance of ending up on social media. 🍦 The Flavor Is Sweet but Not Too Sweet Pistachios have a naturally nutty, slightly sweet flavor that works beautifully with desserts. They add richness without making everything taste like a sugar bomb. The flavor also pairs wonderfully with chocolate, vanilla, caramel, berries, and creamy fillings. 🍫 Pistachio and Chocolate Are a Dream Team The combination of creamy pistachio and rich chocolate has become a favorite in modern desserts. Chocolate adds sweetness and intensity, while pistachio provides a nutty and slightly earthy contrast. Put them together in a filled chocolate bar or creamy dessert and suddenly one piece is definitely not enough. 🥐 They Make Classic Desserts Feel New Pistachio can turn familiar desserts into something that feels more exciting. Think pistachio cheesecake, pistachio tiramisu, pistachio cookies, pistachio croissants, and creamy pistachio gelato. Even traditional pastries can feel completely different with a pistachio filling. 📱 Social Media Made Them Even More Popular Beautiful pistachio desserts are practically designed for photos and videos. Cut open a pistachio-filled pastry and reveal that creamy green center, and suddenly everyone wants to know where it came from. Short food videos have helped turn unusual desserts into global trends almost overnight. 💚 The Pistachio Craze Isn’t Just About Looks There is a reason pistachio desserts have become so popular. They combine a beautiful appearance with a distinctive flavor and a creamy, luxurious texture. Whether it’s a scoop of pistachio gelato, a crunchy cookie, or a chocolate dessert with a nutty filling, pistachio has found a way to make ordinary treats feel a little more special. So, are pistachios having their moment? Absolutely. And judging by the number of desserts wearing that gorgeous green color, they aren’t planning to leave the spotlight anytime soon.     ]]> The Fashion Pieces That Can Make Any Outfit Look More Expensive /2026/09/22/the-fashion-pieces-that-can-make-any-outfit-look-more-expensive/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 07:19:25 +0000 /?p=45 The Fashion Pieces That Can Make Any Outfit Look More Expensive You don’t need a designer wardrobe or a bank account that makes your accountant nervous to look expensive. Sometimes, a few smart fashion pieces can make a simple outfit look polished, elegant, and surprisingly luxurious. The secret is knowing which pieces do the heavy lifting. 👜 A Structured Handbag A structured handbag instantly makes an outfit look more polished and put-together. Simple shapes, clean lines, and minimal logos often create a more luxurious appearance. Neutral colors such as black, beige, brown, cream, or navy are especially easy to style. 👗 A Well-Fitted Blazer A good blazer can turn a basic T-shirt and jeans into an outfit that looks carefully planned. Look for a blazer with a clean shape that fits comfortably around the shoulders. Wearing it over a simple dress, trousers, or even casual denim can instantly make the outfit look more sophisticated. 👠 Classic Shoes Elegant shoes can make even a very simple outfit feel more expensive. Pointed flats, sleek loafers, ankle boots, and classic pumps are easy choices. Keeping your shoes clean and in good condition can make an even bigger difference than buying an expensive pair. ⌚ Simple Jewelry You don’t need to wear a chandelier around your neck to look glamorous. Small gold or silver earrings, a delicate necklace, or a classic watch can add a polished finishing touch. The trick is choosing a few pieces instead of wearing every accessory you own at the same time. 🕶️ Stylish Sunglasses A classic pair of sunglasses can make a casual outfit look instantly more sophisticated. Simple frames tend to look timeless and work with many different outfits. They also have the magical ability to make you look like you have somewhere very important to be, even if you’re just buying iced coffee. ✨ The Real Secret Is Fit Expensive-looking style isn’t always about the price tag. Clothes that fit well, shoes that are cared for, and accessories that complement the outfit can make a huge difference. Add a little confidence, and suddenly that simple outfit looks like it came with a personal stylist. ]]> Why Do High Heels Make Your Feet Look Good? /2025/08/12/why-do-high-heels-make-your-feet-look-good/ Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:01:07 +0000 /?p=39 High heels have been a fashion favorite for decades, gracing runways, red carpets, and everyday wardrobes alike.

High heels enhance posture, elongate legs, and highlight foot shape but the real beauty boost comes from the confidence they inspire. ]]> What’s Happening on the Olive Oil Front? /2025/08/12/olive-oil-news-tours-scandals-quality-tests-and-a-summer-recipe-to-try/ Tue, 12 Aug 2025 09:56:44 +0000 /?p=35 The olive oil world is more vibrant than ever from booming gourmet travel experiences to high-profile scandals, surprising quality tests, and seasonal recipe trends. Whether you’re a dedicated foodie or simply someone who enjoys a drizzle of this golden elixir, here’s what’s making headlines in the olive oil scene right now. 🫒 Oleotourism is Booming Olive oil has moved far beyond the kitchen and is now inspiring travel itineraries. Known as oleotourism, this trend invites visitors to immerse themselves in the culture and history of olive cultivation. Spain leads the way with the largest cultivation area and nearly six million tons of annual production. Italy is the undisputed tasting champion, offering 147 different tasting experiences, while Greece proudly showcases the world’s oldest olive groves. Turkey and Albania are also making their mark, emerging as new must-visit destinations for olive oil enthusiasts. Food Scandal in Italy Not all recent news has been golden. In southern Italy, a company was caught selling adulterated oil labeled as “extra virgin” a fraudulent blend of sunflower oil and inedible olive oil. Disturbingly, some of this product ended up in schools and retirement homes. Over 38 tonnes of the mixture were placed on the market between 2023 and 2024. In response, Italy’s Agriculture Minister declared “zero tolerance” for such deceptive practices and promised stronger measures to protect consumers. Quality Under the Microscope Stiftung Warentest has once again put olive oils to the test, delivering mixed results. Some bottles were found to contain harmful substances or carried misleading labels, tarnishing their reputation. However, there was also good news a number of budget-friendly supermarket brands exceeded expectations, proving that top quality doesn’t always come with a premium price tag. Summer Recipe Trend: Beetroot Carpaccio with Olive Oil This season’s culinary star is beetroot carpaccio paired with ripe pear, crumbly feta, and toasted pine nuts. Fresh, colorful, and bursting with Mediterranean flavor, it’s perfect for hot summer days. The dressing a simple combination of white wine vinegar, mustard, and high-quality olive oil ties everything together with a bright, tangy finish. Served chilled, it’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. From sunny olive groves to shocking scandals and fresh seasonal flavors, olive oil remains one of the most fascinating and versatile ingredients in the culinary world. Whether you’re traveling to taste it at its source, shopping for the best bottle at home, or whisking it into your next recipe, this liquid gold is always worth the attention. ]]> Blinis with Sustainable Caviar: A Luxurious Treat You Can Feel Good About /2025/08/12/blinis-with-sustainable-caviar-a-luxurious-treat-you-can-feel-good-about/ Tue, 12 Aug 2025 09:52:31 +0000 /?p=32 Few dishes say “elegance” quite like blinis with caviar. This timeless pairing of delicate pancakes, creamy toppings, and briny pearls is a classic for celebrations and now, it can also be enjoyed with a clear conscience. By choosing caviar from sustainable aquaculture, you can indulge in its luxurious flavor while supporting responsible farming and protecting endangered wild sturgeon. This recipe serves two and is perfect for an intimate brunch, a special occasion, or simply treating yourself. Ingredients You’ll need 50 grams of Osietra caviar from sustainable aquaculture, 70 milliliters of milk, 10 grams of fresh yeast, 50 grams each of buckwheat and wheat flour, four eggs, three tablespoons of butter, 125 grams of sour cream or crème fraîche, a bunch of chives, four sprigs of dill, and a pinch of salt. Step 1: Prepare the Blinis Warm the milk slightly, then dissolve the yeast into it. Add both types of flour, two of the eggs, and a pinch of salt, mixing until you have a smooth batter. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about an hour, giving it time to develop lightness and flavor. Step 2: Cook the Blinis Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, pour small rounds of batter into the pan to form miniature pancakes. Cook each for two to three minutes per side until golden brown and fluffy. Step 3: Prepare the Eggs and Herbs While the blinis cook, hard-boil the remaining eggs. Once cooked, peel them and separate the yolks from the whites. Chop each finely, keeping them in separate bowls. Finely slice the chives, pluck the dill fronds from their stems, and chop them as well. Step 4: Assemble and Serve On a serving plate, place the caviar in the center. Arrange the warm blinis around it, along with small dishes or spoonfuls of crème fraîche, chopped egg whites, yolks, and herbs. The idea is for each guest to build their own perfect bite. For the ultimate indulgence, pair this dish with a chilled glass of champagne or a crisp shot of vodka. Enjoying blinis with sustainable caviar is more than just a culinary experience it’s a celebration of flavor, craftsmanship, and conscious dining. Whether it’s for a festive toast or a quiet evening in, this dish brings together luxury and responsibility in every bite. ]]> Eating Caviar Without Regrets /2025/08/12/eating-caviar-without-regrets/ Tue, 12 Aug 2025 09:46:53 +0000 /?p=27 Caviar has long been a symbol of luxury tiny pearls bursting with ocean flavor. But for many, the thought of enjoying it comes with a side of guilt over sustainability and ethics. The good news? You can absolutely enjoy caviar with a clear conscience these days as long as you know what to look for. 🌱 Here’s how to savor this delicacy without regrets. 🐟 Choose Sustainable Sources Over Wild-Caught Traditionally, caviar came from wild sturgeon a fish now endangered due to overfishing and habitat loss. Thankfully, aquaculture (fish farming) has stepped up as a sustainable alternative. Today’s top-tier caviar often comes from sturgeon raised in carefully managed farms that protect wild populations. Pro tip: Look for trusted certifications like: ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council GLOBALG.A.P. These labels indicate responsible farming practices that prioritize both the environment and fish welfare. 🧂 Know What “Malossol” Means When browsing caviar, you may come across the word “Malossol” Russian for lightly salted. This means the caviar contains only 2.8 – 4% salt, creating a more refined, delicate flavor. Malossol caviar is considered a mark of quality and allows the natural taste of the roe to shine through. 🧡 Explore Delicious Alternatives If traditional sturgeon caviar feels out of reach (or you just want to try something different), there are excellent, sustainable options: Salmon caviar (Keta) Vibrant orange and slightly larger eggs with a burst of briny sweetness. Trout caviar Milder in flavor and perfect for topping canapés, blinis, or sushi rolls. Both options are more affordable, widely available, and often sourced from responsible fish farms. Final Bite of Advice Enjoying caviar without regrets is all about making mindful choices choosing sustainable sources, understanding quality markers, and exploring flavorful alternatives. That way, every bite feels like a celebration, not a compromise. ]]> Spring/Summer 2025 Trends You’ll Want in Your Closet /2025/07/17/spring-summer-2025-trends-youll-want-in-your-closet/ Thu, 17 Jul 2025 13:42:52 +0000 /?p=17 The fashion world is blooming with bold statements and subtle elegance this Spring/Summer 2025.

But what if I told you that some of the world’s most breathtaking beaches aren’t swarmed with tourists or splashed all over Instagram? Hidden in quiet coves, tucked behind mountain trails, or cradled by cliffs these secret slices of paradise feel like they’re just waiting for you to discover them. So if you’re craving turquoise water, soft sand, and the kind of serenity that travel dreams are made of minus the crowds this list is for you. Here are 5 of the most beautiful beaches you’ve (probably) never heard of, but will definitely want to add to your bucket list:  1. Calaguas Island – Philippines Location: Camarines Norte, Luzon No resorts, no bars, no Wi-Fi just pure, untouched beauty. Calaguas Island is what Boracay looked like before it became a hotspot. Think powdery white sand, crystal-clear water, and dramatic sunsets that light up the entire sky. You’ll need to take a boat to get here, but the journey is part of the magic. Why it’s special:It’s the kind of place where you fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up with sand in your hair and that’s a good thing.  2. Playa del Amor (Hidden Beach) – Mexico Location: Marieta Islands, off the coast of Nayarit From above, it looks like a sinkhole in the middle of the island. From below, it’s a beach like no other completely hidden from view and only accessible through a tunnel by boat or swimming. Playa del Amor (Lover’s Beach) is a secluded paradise born from a collapsed volcanic crater. Why it’s special:It’s a literal hidden gem. The kind of place that feels like a secret adventure, with a story behind every rock and wave.  3. Agiofarago Beach – Crete, Greece Location: Southern coast of Crete Forget the crowded beaches of Mykonos. Agiofarago is the kind of beach that rewards the brave it’s only accessible via a hike through a scenic gorge, surrounded by towering cliffs and wild goats. The reward? A small, peaceful beach with turquoise water, sea caves, and zero noise. Why it’s special:It’s like nature’s cathedral raw, rugged, and spiritual. A real off-the-grid gem for nature lovers.  4. Tonsai Beach – Thailand Location: Krabi Province Overshadowed by nearby Railay Beach, Tonsai is a hippie hideaway with an artistic soul. You won’t find glossy resorts here, just chill beach bars, jungle paths, and some of the world’s best rock-climbing spots. Perfect for the traveler who prefers hammocks over hotels. Why it’s special:It’s a vibe. A mood. A barefoot kind of place where time feels optional.  5. Wharariki Beach – New Zealand Location: South Island, near Farewell Spit Wind-sculpted dunes, wild horses, and giant rock arches that rise out of the ocean Wharariki Beach looks like something from another planet. At low tide, hidden caves and shallow pools create the perfect reflection photos. Why it’s special:It’s dramatic, cinematic, and totally uncrowded. You might just have the entire beach to yourself. Traveling is about more than passport stamps and bucket list cities it’s about the moments that catch you by surprise. The beaches on this list aren’t the most famous, but they’re the kind you’ll remember forever. Because sometimes, the best places aren’t the ones with hashtags… they’re the ones that take your breath away. So next time you’re planning a getaway, ditch the crowd and chase beauty off the beaten path. Your secret paradise awaits. ]]>

What was initially considered to be disposable media for children was well on its way to becoming the mythology of our time—the 20th century’s answer to Atlas or Zorro. More than 40,000 comic books later, in honor of the publisher’s 75th anniversary, <a href="; has produced the single most comprehensive book on DC Comics, in an XL edition even Superman might have trouble lifting. More than 2,000 images—covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and collectibles—are reproduced using the latest technology to bring the story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life as they’ve never been seen before. Telling the tales behind the tomes is 38-year DC veteran Paul Levitz, whose in-depth essays trace the company’s history, from its pulp origins through to the future of digital publishing.<br /><br />Year-by-year timelines that fold out to nearly four feet and biographies of the legends who built DC make this an invaluable reference for any comic book fan.<br /><br />Hardcover, 29 x 39.5 cm (11.4 x 15.6 in.), 720 pages | $200.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 316px; height: 400px;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539085002570490930" /></a>2010/11/four-color-fantasy-super-heroes-from.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254241434877339369.post-6024338923407547753Wed, 29 Sep 2010 19:27:00 +00002012-03-12T15:14:12.603+00:00One Perfect CupSven MILCENT &amp; the Utopik Design Lab have done it! They’ve taken our entire collected evolution of cup-making and holding of drink history and combined it into one cup. One cup to hold them all. This is “One Glass for Every Drink” and it’s made to work for everyone. It of course tends to the four main glass-specific types of drink: water, cognac, wine, and champagne. It uses the same head and a different base for each of these. Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Let’s have a sip or two and talk about it.<br /><br />This isn’t the first interchangeable base cup we’ve had here on Yanko, and it wont be the last. It’s a fantastic idea and deserving of a slew of attempts at it in order to make it perfect. Here’s one with some really fabulous ideas, and rather elegant ones if I do say so myself.<br /><br />And while we’re at it, I’ve got to say that my favorite drink glass in the world must be the snifter – looked after here closely by that cognac glass on it’s side. Very sassy. Very nice. Very on it’s side where it definitely aught to be, havin a great time.<br /><br /><a href="; onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="; border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522419297738871570" /></a><br /><a href=" />source</a>2010/09/one-perfect-cup.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254241434877339369.post-6542508455971782439Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:07:00 +00002010-09-03T16:13:17.902+01:00Clever and simple<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512705407945451058" /></a><br /><a href="; is a cellotape design, clear-cut solution to the problem of finding the tape plus cutting it.<br /><br />Clever and simple, just as the best designs are.<br /><br />The V-tape won an <a href=" Concept Design 2010 Award.</a>2010/09/clever-and-simple.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254241434877339369.post-441036646386323021Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:33:00 +00002010-09-03T16:15:17.618+01:00flavors.meVery well built, hassle free nice platform to keep all your online existence together at just one place.<br /><br />I got mine sorted already!<br /><a href=" bernard</a>: "always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - It’s where you take them to.”"2010/09/jocelyn-bernard.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254241434877339369.post-5542483752404655816Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:33:00 +00002010-08-18T17:36:54.861+01:00Live Young<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 400px;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506789386974667794" /></a><br />Campanha da marca de água mineral Evian, desenvolvida pela agência BETC Euro RSCG de Paris, França.

Just awesome.<br /><br />Read what he says about his work:<br /><br />During my time in the creative industries I've worn a lot of hats, but those are the names I've felt most comfortable with. Whether I'm sole designer or directing, what I do can be broken down using one or more of those titles.<br /><br />I have a conceptual approach to everything I do born from a love of bold and memorable images. I started freelancing under the name Also Known As in January 2009 and it's worked out pretty well so far, working on overflow & pitch projects for design agencies across the UK as well as for private clients worldwide. Every project is an opportunity to do the best work I've ever done.<br /><br />My work has been featured across the web, in print, and in books such as Custom Kicks, 1001 Restaurant Bar & Café Graphics, Vormator: Elements of Design, and Black & White Freedrawings."<br /><br /><br />As an illustrator he is represented by NB Illustration in London.<br /><br /><a href=" />check it out</a>2009/09/designer-illustrator-typographer-im.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254241434877339369.post-8334559850263450315Sun, 06 Sep 2009 09:43:00 +00002009-09-06T10:52:58.102+01:00Loving the work of Gary Taxali<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 400px;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378288839654359522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 400px;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378288777746626626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 324px; height: 400px;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378288677788227746" /></a><br />Gary Taxali is an award-winning illustrator whose work has appeared in every major magazine and newspaper.
