This Feel Good Friday quote comes from the brilliant writer, Elizabeth Gilbert. Her latest book, Big Magic, has inspired us endlessly. Her profound approach to creativity is enlightening and infectious. We love how she teaches us to live with fear while embracing curiosity. Liz Gilbert is the ultimate cheerleader to help us all create what causes a revolution in our hearts. We are also enjoying her fantastic podcast, Magic Lessons! It is impossible not to be inspired and touched by these incredible stories on the journey of creative living.

In the words of Ms. Gilbert, “Onward!”

Enough said!

Have a wonderful weekend!

We often have Pandora playing in the office and our station line up ranges from Corcovado to Adele, and Caroline Beach Music to Justin Bieber. But, when things get a little stressful and we need a reality check, we look no further than Stevie Nicks. A songbird of the 70’s and hailed Queen of Rock and Roll, Ms. Nicks is one of our muses who truly embraces and embodies life’s ebb and flow. She makes no apologies for who she is but respects herself and her experiences including the memories she has been a part of for those of her loved ones and fans. Cheers to a woman who goes her own way and blazes the trail for the rest of us!

In honor of this weekend’s Easter holiday, we’re taking time to be with our families and reflect on the wonder and awe of the life surrounding us; including the miracles we aren’t always looking for. Just as the seasons change and spring ushers in anew, we are filled with faith, hope and love for what’s to come. Blessings to you and yours.

Mrs. Draper was a woman ahead of her time and one of the most influential interior designers in America. Her legacy continues with Dorothy Draper & Company, Inc. headed by our friend, and design icon, Carlton Varney. As we head into the weekend, we’re embracing our inner Dorothy and putting on our ruby slippers- who wants to play?!
