I found mine. How 'bout you?
Breezy…
Sitting on the porch
I feel the cool breeze blowing
Air is fresh and clear…
This was what it was like sitting on the front porch when my family visited. We were barely inside because it was such a beautiful day…
Stay groovy…

Family…
Gather ’round table
Loud laughter and stories told
Family visits…
And this happened yesterday. Two of my brothers and their kids joined my family for an afternoon of laughter and fun. A good time was had by all. This will most definitely be an annual event…
Reach out and gather your loved ones…
Stay groovy…

Ocean Waves…
Ocean waves roll in
Powerful break over shore
It’s quite cathartic…
Stay groovy…

So spring is upon us, and there’s no better way to welcome the season than to change things up.
My recognition of this came from an unexpected direction. I had been using the same teaching background for my classes for about eight months when I was suddenly gripped by a desire to create something new. So it was off to the Dollar Tree to find some inexpensive accoutrements to redesign my display.
But this is not about the outcome of my redesign, but about change in general. Spring is a wonderful time to renew because the world around us is doing just that. My daughter, Sammy, and I recently saw two baby Sandhill Cranes wandering with their parents. They were so fresh and downright adorable that it made me take pause to appreciate new beginnings.
So whether it’s rethinking a background, cleaning a closet, redecorating a room, or trying a new lipstick shade, go for it! Spring is here, so change it up…
Stay groovy…

And so as it is today….
Cozy in my bed
Light rain drizzling all day long
Curled up with a book…
Stay groovy…

Spring
Anticipate rain…
Storms offer promise of growth…
Smell flowers blossom.
Stay groovy…

Fog
My view obstructed
Damp mist encircles my soul
Fog descends on me…
Stay groovy…

Whether it’s Maren Morris, Taylor Swift, or one of The Chainsmokers, the iHeartRADIO Music Awards 2019 was all about the sparkle…
One element I love about this type of award show, is there are far fewer rules of fashion that are a must follow. The standout trend of the night to me was the sequins. They covered outfits from head to toe and made for a shimmery red carpet.
This is in sync with the direction of fashion. Sequins are in and made the top ten list of fashion elements for Fall 2019 according to Glamour magazine. But let’s face it…When aren’t sequins in?
Stay groovy…

So I’d like to introduce my new obsession…Designer Hester Sunshine. I stumbled upon her while catching an episode of this season’s Project Runway. My eye immediately went to Hester as I scanned the crowd of competing designers. Her look was bold and interesting. Some people imply a clown connection…I totally disagree (clowns scare me), as she has something more special to offer.
Hester started her career as a child designing dolls for her friends and then graduated to selling them ensembles. After studying at Parsons School of Design and Central Saint Martins in London, she designed ready-to-wear, accessories, and even costumes. Her design credentials include working with Betsey Johnson, Kate Spade, Coach, and a variety of private labels.
She was tapped for Season 17 of Project Runway on Bravo. I’ll be keeping an eye on her…
Stay groovy…

So it seems I’ve been writing about handbags quite a bit lately. There’s a reason…plenty of news surrounding them.
My latest bag installment addresses something seen for the last couple of seasons…the tiny handbag. This season they are apparently getting even smaller…
Priced at $345 – $795, these Jacquemus micro bags can’t even hold a lipstick. You might fit some aspirin and a breath mint if you’re lucky. So why carry them?
Fashion ladies…Fashion…
Stay groovy…
