Paris vs. New York: Coffee

with 2 comments

I love the Paris vs. New York collection of prints (and it’s a book). This one sort of says it all though.

Friday Photo: Travel Inspiration

with one comment

Sometimes I open the Baja folder, knowing fully well that I should resist the urge. Perusing through travel photos can do two things:

Inspire you.

Frustrate you.

Often it’s the latter, making you wish for an immediate teleport to a far away place that has nothing to do with computer screens and desks.

But you do it anyway, and are left with visions of warm weather, sand and good people. The frustration subsides, and you’re left with the kind of travel urge that leads to planning the next adventure. The vicious wanderlust cycle.

Where to next?

The beauty of Oregon is salt air one day and snowflakes on a cross country ski trail the next.

When Food Equals Love

with one comment

There’s internet dating for foodies now. Clearly.

Ultimately, food can be sexy, but dating the foodie crowd? You can only take so many discussions about the merits of sparkling water and urban wineries. As Felicity Cloake of The Guardian put it, “does a foodie really need another foodie to be happy?”

I am not so sure.

George Bernard Shaw once said, “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” If there are two of you with a love for food, there may not be so much room for the actual love part. And by that same token, if you’re in the business of dating, and you’re schmoozing foodies, you better know what you’re getting yourself into.

Friday Photo: Morning Run

with one comment

Early bird gets the worm… or at least the sunrise. Feeling inspired and fueled by some beautiful runs in San Francisco this week, the smell of sea salt and eucalyptus in the air.

Ideas Come When…

leave a comment »

My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living. -Anais Nin

Ideas come when you:

say yes more often.
get outside.
drink coffee.
are open to inspiration.
dream.
celebrate the ordinary.
love.
surround yourself with creatives.
are intentional.
live passionately.
