The rules.

I finally remember how to practice.

Slow down. It's more important I be right than fast.

I used to think I was above learning the details because I didn't want to become a slave to them.

But now I see that you have to know the rules to break them. Or rather...to create them.

Connect the Dots.

Throughout my lifetime I have moved around the world, made dozens of friends, and met some wonderful people who have changed my life. As I'm about to make my biggest move thus far, I want to reintroduce myself.

I'm starting a project today that will force me to get better about staying connected with the people that I care about. People that I all too often say "Oh, I should really call her."

I'm going to break my bad habits of "moving." Because it doesn't always mean "moving on." People's roles will always change in my life but it's up to me to make the best of it.

Starting today, I will call one person every day for a month. Someone who's life I used to know but don't anymore. Relatives, friends, and others who have influenced me over the years. It's going to be hard, but I need to connect the dots in my life.

Why don't they make these anymore?

This couldn't be more perfect. I am practically drooling.

I bet it has something to do with the extinction of the girdle...




Organza.















Silk Charmeuse.










I would like it with either of these fabrics. Beautiful!
