Q & A a day.... a 5 year one-liner journal

...came across the greatest journal of all time. Q & A a day. 365 questions, 5 years, 825 answers. i place it on my night stand, and consistantly >>>so proud of myself<<< record an answer to the daily question. it has been entertaining to reflect back on my day to answer poignant questions such as....

what is your resolution for tomorrow?
what's the most embarrassing purchase on a recent credit card purchase?
today you've got too much ___________.
what's your favorite question to ask people?
write down the cure for a broken heart.
how did you get to work today?
what's your biggest obstacle right now?
did you kiss someone today?

i have been on track for almost a month, can't wait for more questions.... and then to even be able to look back through the years to see change and growth (hopefully). ahhhh life's insignificant questions prove to be revealing and fascinating.

go get one for yourself! i found mine at Anthropologie.

don't let your dreams be dreams

On October 23rd 2010, I was a lucky gal to be part of the wedding celebration between one of my dearest best friends Kali and her new husband Eric.

They were married at the strong, architectural United Methodist Cathedral in Mpls, and the part-ay was held at the ritzy & modern Graves 601 downtown Mpls. Kelly Brown captured the well-executed details that Kal's--->>extremely talented<<--- mother put together. Ah, I can't fail to mention the 4-inch thick binder that was lugged around with all the wedding specifications during their 6 month engagement--slash--wedding planning stint.

The whole wedding was just so gorgous and thoughtful and detailed.... the theme was all about circles. It is so very true that "hearts can be broken but a circle never ends" . One of my most favorite moments was Eric's father's speech at the groom's dinner. His words were the most tender and sincere, and spoke of how Kali is a blessing and gift to their lives. He had just about every lady and gent in the room in tears. Congrats again Kali & Eric--for the millionth time!! <3
