I’ve been thinking a lot this week about belief—it has always played a huge role in my life. As a child I believed in Santa. I used to go downtown Seattle during the holidays and stand in a three-hour line at Westlake Center in order to have two minutes on the big man’s lap. Then… Continue Reading

The Gratitude Project
I’m Trying a New New Year’s Goal for 2012 This year for the New Year I thought I’d do something a little different rather than the traditional goal-setting.

New York: Where Art Meets Fashion
When I was in New York a few weeks ago, I walked everywhere! One of my favorite walking spots was along 5th Avenue where I could window shop day or night.
