friday inspiration

love those ted talks - this performance is terrific:

pretty.

spoken word at it's best.

oh antony. i do think the world of you.

i am super smitten with antony. SUPER smitten. seeing him live is one of top live performances i've seen...he is amazing, true, powerful & moving.

we are officially in the hudson home. sunday night was first sleepover in the new home. lots of differing emotions. (& funny smells & noises!) more on that later.

for now, enjoy some new antony.

photostrip hudson home - it's moving weekend!

we move this weekend - it's been ridiculous. the amount of packing & demo-ing & rehab & painting & stripping & pulling & boxing & taping & pitching & passing along & trying to get rid of & sanding & dumping & late nights & & & & ...has me very overwhelmed.

but what makes me happy is standing on my tiptoes in the very far left corner of MY backyard & seeing the tip of the golden gate bridge twinkle at night far in the distance...it will be worth it (in maybe 10 years!)

can't wait for the huge move-in push to be done this weekend!

shine on.

john lennon would have been 70 today. i love that yoko keeps the fire going. & what i love most about this video, is that yoko is crocheting blindfolded, and they've miked her crocheting!

i wish he was still here, but i'm so glad that yoko still is...

impossible not?

so, it's totally official - we finally got our keys to our new home - even after that last post when i thought we were good to go, even up to the very last minute it was still touch n go on whether or not this crazy falling down home would be ours to bring back to life with some love!!

i love this photo by emilie79 on flickr - new polaroid film they are testing out. this whole house mission this entire last year plus felt impossible, but now, i can truly say, it was impossible 'not' :) at last!

we've already begun pulling up the disgusting carpet & revealing the hardwood floors - our before & after's will hopefully knock your socks off because yesterday as i wandered around our *home*, i laughed & laughed at the impossible-ness of the work needed for this home. but i'm going to try to keep that "not" in my mind regarding the work for her too - impossible not. i like it.

happy tuesday!
