A Wonderful Life

It's a wonderful life that I'm living.

No kidding.

Last night @ Bal Harbour's Art Night

for instance, my wonderful life was enhanced

by showing up and attending this rather new

Monthly Event happening @Bal Harbour Shoppe's.

The evening's Art Focus was on Photography

with preview Installations by Iran Issa-Khan,

Peggy Levison Nolan, Bruce Weber and

several others.

The setting could not have been more beautiful.

Different stores were hosting a local Art Institution,

with part of the evening's sales benefiting each

organization.

I was swept away with the first space we entered,

a new retail concept called 100% Capri.

The merchandise in this store along with

the gorgeous staff all dressed in various

looks in white linen, was astounding.

It was as though they were staging a performance

art piece and everyone was a player.

We continued through the Mall stopping @Saks

to say hello to Iran Issa-Kahn, then on to Neiman's to catch

the "Conversation" taking place with Constance Collins,

Peggy Levison Nolan and Natasha Durwin, benefiting

The Lotus House.

Books and Books was hosting Bruce Weber's Curiosity and

Photography.

The most entertaining part of the evening in my opinion

were all the beautiful people, styled out to the max and

feasting on all the deluxe merchandise so artfully presented

in each store.

By 8:30 we were off for dinner in The Design Distrcit

@Michael's Genuine Food.

Artist Michael Enns was my partner in Art for the evening.

We had a glorious time talking to everyone and enjoying

all the creativity that was surrounding us.

This morning as I sit here @my computer composing this

post I am reminded that all things are possible.

This thought is what sustains me each day as I make my

way out of the house and into the big wide world that awaits

each one of us.

I'm telling you true folks, suit up and show up.

It's that simple.

Windows open and opportunities are revealed.

You never know if you'll hit a home run unless you

are willing to get up to bat.

I am ever mindful of how lucky I am at this time

in my life.

I pray each day for the willingness to let go,

to forgive and to pass it forward, with dignity,

grace and restraint.

Take nothing for granted friends.

Enjoy the gifts the Universe manifests on

a daily basis.

Create the life you wish to live.

If I can, so can you.

Sending love to all.
