Music Notes. Honeyroot

I heard this song while in Japan last year getting sunrise morning coffee at a Starbucks and asked what they were playing (I went to iTunes as soon as I returned to my hotel room) I play it often because it has good vibes to me - music can touch you wherever you are in the world, if you're open to it.

Notes. Teamwork

Post racist meltdown and subsequent firing of design superstar John Galliano, came one of the more intriguing photo's to emerge from Paris Fashion Week.
At the conclusion of the 2011 Fall/Winter Collection show sans Galliano, the design team took a bow. Most never think of how many quality people it takes to present a collection - or for that matter to make any significant showing whether it be business, sports, film, music or fashion. Teamwork is key. It's something we teach our children, and is one of those pearls of wisdom in life that never goes out of style.
This photo is a reminder that no matter how much we are the captain of our own ships in creativity, ambition or determination - we all need a good team to make it happen. I'm not talking 'hanger ons', 'Lookie Loos' and 'Yes' people, but truly knowledgeable, talented, smart people.
Surround yourself with a great support team that can help you make your vision come to life or at the least are trying to go somewhere in life just like you are.

Notes. 3 Things On Your Weekly List of Goals

I think it's good to write down the things you'd like to achieve or accomplish, small and large. Often the larger goals can seem overwhelming and we overlook the smaller achievements we can make in the meantime.

With the start of a new week think about it and write down 3 things you'd like to accomplish by week's end. It could be as simple as working out at least once, calling a parent, having a meatless day or clearing out a small stack of paper clutter, etc.

When you write it down and have the short list in plain view it makes the goals more real.

You can do it and I can too. Let's Go!
