What has been keeping you busy?
I found myself really overwhelmed with work for this seasons show, But I wanted to check in and see how all of you are doing? Have you taken my advice and built friendships amongst yourselves. I found a really beautiful card tonight that said
"for every star there is a person", when you look to the stars you share with someone you know a thing of beauty. What have you seen lately that has inspired you guys, I have some advice for you, I do this every day , make a note of something amazing you have never seen before and write it on the blog share one thing a day with all of us. Today, I saw NYC from the top of the mandarin oriental, central park is so beautiful from above and all the buildings old and new, brilliant!!!

Saw a film on the East river front last night on a screen run by solar power. Amazing that people can harness the Sun's power.. sitting by the river in the darkness and a nice walk home was wonderful.
I yelled out "Snakes on a plane!" in the Palisades Mall and about ten people turned to me and yelled back "We've had it with these m'thaf'in snakes on this m'thaf'in plane!" Which was amazing. I realized that was probably the most uttered phrase in America this weekend.
Silly I know. But it gives me unity with the rest of the nation. Which rarely ever happens.
Oh and go see Little Miss Sunshine it's the most beautiful film, from head to toe everything is perfect.
I recently just saw the movie Memoirs of a Geisha, and even though it wasn't good with following the book it was such a beautiful movie. I mean you couldn't help but just immerse yourself in its beauty, with the cherry blossoms and silk kimonos. I've always had a soft spot for Japanese culture, so this movie really inspired me with its beauty. I hope to do some geshia paintings as a result from it.
From 1986-1999, I collected photos of sunsets taken with my two clunker cameras--a chunky old Mamiya 35 mm, and later a Minolta with a fab zoom lens.
I have two entire BOOKS filled with sunsets from my previous apartment where I lived on the 6th floor. I'd open up my window, flip up the screen and shoot for about 30 mins two or three times a week, even in winter.
It's no surprise people confuse colors and mismatch, God's palette is so much more vast.
Thank you for reminding me of this, Malan. Recently, I learned that one of my cousins, who is battling breast cancer, had taken a turn for the worse--it's been so depressing. But it's important to remember that each day is precious, and rather than worrying about the future, sometimes we need to live and love right now, in the moment.
This morning, I'm just thankful for music. One of my friends sent me his band's most recent CD--isn't it wonderful to just lose yourself in songs?
Everytime I hold my daughter in my arms and look into those big, blue eyes my heart fills and I am inspired to be the best person I can for her.
She amazes me and Malan she is a diva! She goes nowhere without accessories...typically faux pearls, her cat frame sunglasses (with rhinestones) and a bracelets from India pushed up over her biceps. Oh to be 4 again.

I saw your final episode of PR. Something happened in your exit interview-- the shroud fell and I saw who you really were. I was inspired by that moment. Your willingness to be somber in that moment struck me deeply. Maybe someday when I am older and much more able, I shall go to New York and be wowed in person by the vision, spirit, and heart in your designs.
