last night

wet street and clean air
deep breath in deeper breath out
opening of universe

laughing in bed

describing why the "mani / pedi" is such a treat, the arm and leg massage came up:

"oh... i thought it was limited to exclusive digiteries."

closet standard: leather jacket

Is there any outfit that it does not just go with, but greatly improve? No.

Is there anything that screams "I'm a badass chic and u don't wanna funk with me" more than this? No.

Is there a more classic, timeless piece of clothing that u will wear from teenage punkrocker to older lady with edge? No.

Is there any other closet obsession that deserves as much attention, and wear, and praise? No.

tips for:

staying calm when shit hits the fan

01) do not EVER say the initial thought that comes to your mind when you hear/find out the frustrating/bad/horrible/sad news
02) breathe
03) do not ever say the second thought either
04) think solution. NOT reaction
05) gather the facts
06) act on the solution
07) realize it is not the end of the world
08) try to see obstacles as challanges, not barricades
09) most times, you are part of the problem, so do not blame other people for what seems to be everyone else's fault and not yours
10) get over it.  there are so many other people dealing with worse.
