Farmer's Market

Who knew that a weekly trip, less than a mile from my house, could leave me so rejuvenated and fulfilled! The music of instruments, birds, and people's laughter allow me to escape into a small utopic world...even if only for an hour. How refreshing to see a child being cradled in the arms of a mother, eyes so big and bright, filled with curiosity and life. But let's not forget the toddler in the stroller with chocolate smeared all over his hands and face. These citings bring refreshed clarity into life which is often cluttered in the daily grind.

Then there are the everyday fashion icons. They effortlessly don a racerback tank paired with a high waisted skirt and accessorized with over sized peak-a-boo shades. Local celebrities....love it, gotta have it....she will be my style muse this week!!! I am like the paparazzi without a camera, but these images will be in my mental 'Kodak memory':)

If you have never gone to a farmer's market, you are not only missing great local produce, but rather an experience! Visit soon and often and don't forget that milk in the bottle....

P.S. for my farmer's market newbies:

• make sure you take a canvas cloth bag to pack all your yummy treats
• leave your camera at home your first trip and just take the moment in,
• be sure to walk the entire market before making any purchases...but by all means get your coffee first!...lol
• last but not least, please take cash...not many farmers have their credit card machines

TBS was my inspiration

First off, I owe part of this blog to K-love...if I hadn't visited her blog spot I may have forgotten about this little secret of mine a bit longer.

The second half of inspiration came from watching a repeat of Sex in the City. I have never been a die hard fan, but if I catch an episode, I soak it up! This episode reconfirmed the power of individual influence. Samantha has developed cancer and is in the midst of receiving chemotherapy, thus she loses her hair, has hot flashes, and other burdensome symptoms. Well she is asked to deliver a motivational speech...which she bombs. Feeding off the audience's lack of enthusiasm, she begins to break from her script and just be Samantha! She is glowing buckets and has on a hella hot wig...in one instant she decides to rid herself of the wig and be free. All of the other cancer survivors followed suit...this was my moment of inspiration.

Everyday we do things that inspire others. So bring your personal best daily....someone is always watching.....xoxo
