History

"History is an ongoing dialogue between present and past. It's about us as much as it's about them. Think about that it is the study of how things change. We often talk about the way the past influences the present and the future, but I don't think we talk nearly enough about how the present shapes the past."
-Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Harvard, Mormon Stories Conference Boston 2012

Mixed

“I like the idea of wearing a glamourous coat with comfortable shoes; evening dresses with flats. I like it when there are two messages in one silhouette. I like it when it’s not first-degree sexy; when it’s not first-degree severe. I like it when everything is mixed.”

- Guillaume Henry, Creative Director of Carven 

Look

“I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.”

- John Steinbeck, Winter of Our Discontent

Me.

"You won't do it at the right time. You'll be late. You'll be early. You'll get re-routed. You'll get delayed. You'll change your mind. You'll change your heart. It's not going to turn out the way you thought it would. It will be better."

Kate Molle

Stop and Start

"Sometimes I'm terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts."

Edgar Allen Poe

Excite

The question you should be asking isn’t, “What do I want?” or “What are my goals?” but “What would excite me?

— Tim Ferriss

Noted

"So, may I plead with anyone out there who may need to hear this - do not idolize that which you don't have.  Coveting and envy is the energy of ignoring whatever it is that you have.  It's the energy of desiring to have your circumstances (or other people) control your wellness.  If you find yourself idolizing someone else's life or marriage, let that be a gentle reminder to you to reassess.

And, if you covet anything, covet character.  Rejoice in someone else's good marriage and wisdom and say:  I will learn from them; I will follow their path; I will use my own marriage to develop those skills & virtues for myself.  You can develop character no matter what state your spouse is in, no matter what your spouse does.  If you choose to pursue virtues, you'll come out on top."
