Friday Photo: Launch Of A Thousand Ships (Or At Least One Of Them)

by Monica September 14, 2012

Last week at this time I was in Panama for a few days, taking in the scenery and eating my way through delicious dulche de leche ice-cream. Of course, no trip to Panama would be complete without a visit to the Panama Canal! I took this photo as afternoon showers were beginning to descend and [...]

Friday Photo: Welcome To Your Lucky Break

by Monica August 24, 2012

The day you decide to do it is your lucky day. ~Japanese Proverb Do I feel incredibly vain and… exposed… placing a close-up photo of my face on the blog for this week’s Friday Photo? You betcha. But I did it because I want all of us to remember if we don’t put ourselves in the [...]

Friday Photo: See Through

by Monica August 17, 2012

Sometimes you can’t see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others. ~Ellen DeGeneres By shifting our focus onto the stories of other people, we are better able to understand our own and see that which matters most. Wishing you a weekend filled with people who reflect the best in you. Ever after, Monica [...]

Friday Photo: Caught Up In The Moment

by Monica August 10, 2012

Memory is the only thing that binds you to earlier selves; for the rest, you become an entirely different being every decade or so, sloughing off the old persona, renewing and moving on. You are not who you were, he told her, nor who you will be. ~ Sebastian Faulks, Charlotte Gray As written in yesterday’s [...]

Friday Photo: Explore. Dream. Discover.

by Monica August 3, 2012

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain Wherever you are this Friday, I’m wishing you wind in [...]

Friday Photo and an Instagram Challenge: Presenting Perspectives

by Monica July 27, 2012

One person’s craziness is another person’s reality. ~ Tim Burton A few years ago, (or what I refer to as BI, as in Before Instagram) I wanted to create a fun daily reminder of personal gratitude. Because I apparently lived under a rock, I had never heard of Gretchen Rubin’s insanely successful book, The Happiness Project, [...]

Friday Photo: Behind The Scenes

by Monica July 20, 2012

But how could you live and have no story to tell? ~Fyodor Dostoyevsky Although this week has been quiet on the Show & Tell website, it has been very, very busy behind the scenes. In this week’s newsletter I wrote about the changes being made round these parts. Hint: Hollywood comes to the web… sorta. [...]

Alone Together

by Monica July 13, 2012

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.” ~ John Muir, naturalist, explorer, and writer (1838-1914) As discussed in yesterday’s post, this week was consumed with all things World Domination, in Portland, Oregon. I’m still recovering, still remembering, and still searching. This weekend I’m [...]

Friday Photo: Start. Go. Keep Going.

by Monica June 29, 2012

“You just have to keep on doing what you do. It’s the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.” ~ Meryl Streep This mantra for this last week in June is “Keep Going.” I have a few other thoughts on that here. But I think the quote above from [...]

Friday Photo: Just Say Yes

by Monica June 22, 2012

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working [...]
