Lord, Take Me Where You Want Me To Go; Let Me Meet Who You Want Me To Meet; Tell Me What You Want Me

I love furoshiki!  I'm mesmerized when I watch this video.  Great idea for upcoming holiday gifts:  Mother's Day, Father's Day, weddings, graduations.

Legos Are Not Just for Children

I recently took my GrandGirls to a free event where they spent time creating artwork from Legos.  These 3 Girls have lots of experience with Legos since their Dad, my son, played with them endlessly when he was young.  He has passed this skill on to his Girls. Here is a picture of The Black Pearl which they built together during Christmas break:  Now, when we were at the free event, I watched the Girls meticulously select parts as they began building.  After a while, I wanted to test my building skills.  So, here’s my finished product:

Most likely I won’t create anything much more detailed in the future but I had fun participating.  And, I certainly won't make a living creating Lego art even though some people do.  Don't believe me?  Check out this video: http://youtu.be/flG-eJpjsLM

Have you, as an adult, ever created anything with Legos?

This looks so cozy!  Another fascinating spot for a nap or some reading.

Will I see you at the #RedDotAuction on May 9?

Mea culpa for the sporadic postings, but directedbychuckjones has been up to their collective eyeballs in preparations for next week’s Red Dot Auction benefiting the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. Please bear with us (the editorial ‘we’ indicates, at times, that there is more than one of us, nothing could be further from the truth. and now you can debate “further” or “farther”). If you’d like to pre-bid on the art go to Heritage Auctions for details and to view.

Six simple rituals for more winning: 1. Drink a glass of water when you wake up. Your body loses water while you sleep, so you’re naturally dehydrated in the morning. A glass of water when you wake helps start your day fresh. 2. Define your top 3. Every morning ask yourself, “What are the top three most important tasks that I will complete today?” Prioritizes your day accordingly and don’t sleep until the Top 3 are complete. 3. The 50/10 Rule. Solo-task and do more faster by working in 50/10 increments. Use a timer to work for 50 minutes on only one important task with 10 minute breaks in between. Spend your 10 minutes getting away from your desk, going outside, calling friends, meditating, or grabbing a glass of water. 4. Move and sweat daily. Regular movement keeps us healthy and alert. It boosts energy and mood, and relieves stress. 5. Express gratitude. Gratitude fosters happiness. Each morning, think of at least five things you’re thankful for. In times of stress, pause and reflect on these things. 6. Reflect daily. Bring closure to your day through 10 minutes of reflection. Asks yourself, “What went well?” and “What needs improvement?”
