it's officially Spring. happy Norouz! - Persian New Year. here's to new life! ironically, i have had revelations about this auspicious time of year as i sit at home, buzzing on antibiotics, slowing down the pace of life as i nurse myself back to recovery from being hit by a nasty bug. i've had time to kick back and revel in things i LOVE : reading one of my favorite mags Food & Wine cover to cover and discovering amazing people and things they love doing and doing well (
Scribe Winery), meditating on a glorious gift from my friend Jamila which could not be more of a dead-on metaphor for mineral forest - the proper care and nurturing of this little fairy plant requires daily water dips - so true of the attention i need to pay to this little business concept i am trying to get off the ground and sprout up!

and realizing more and more the importance of blessings - of spreading hope and joy and health to all those around us - if even in just the few words "feel better". i could literally feel the vibratory effect of those words as friends, family and even the pharmacist bid me a swift recovery.
so here's to taking time out to smell the flowers,
