"Every moment of your life is infinitely creative

and the universe is endlessly bountiful.

Just put forth a clear enough request,

and everything your heart desires must come to you.”

~Mahatma Ghandi

Moondance

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance

With the stars up above in your eyes

A fantabulous night to make romance

'Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are falling

To the sound of the breezes that blow

And I'm trying to please to the calling

Of your heart-strings that play soft and low

And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush

All the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have 1 more moondance with you my love

(If you look closely, you can see Venus :)

and what we lose in flowers

we more than gain in fruits.”

Autumn Reflections

Fall is so vivid and so fleeting.

While rejoicing in its glorious colors,

there is still a longing for those warm days

that melt into sweet summer evenings.

As the sun sets on a bittersweet autumn weekend,

the empty band shell and deserted beach

remind us that summer is well and truly over.

Chic et bon marché

When I heard about French designer

Catherine Malandrino's collection at Kohl's Department Store

, I was both intrigued and skeptical. Today, with my 30% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket, I decided to see for myself. Overall, I love the French style of the collection although some of it borders on costumy and the quality is more Kohl's than Catherine. I did buy two cute skirts. I live in sweaters and skirts with tights and boots when the weather gets colder. The print skirt is artsy and features iconic Parisian images like the Eiffel Tower, the love locks, and a couple kissing. Everything was on sale, I used my coupon, and I received $10 Kohl's cash for every $50 I spent. The black pleated knit skirt is perfectly versatile and is also available online in French blue. I think I'll use my Kohl's cash to order it tomorrow.
